Today i was trying my luck with Pixel Bender, the new graphics processing engine supported by Adobe Flash Player 10,Adobe After Effects. (Hey it’s coming for Photoshop too!.. soon.) Pixel Bender allows you to create your own filters, blends, area fills, and line fills. Guess what? once you get a grip of pixel bender you will hardly return to available filters, rather you will create your own stunning filter effect! With the little time that i spent with pixel bender, it really impressed me.

Some Quick Points about Pixel Bender,

  • Pixel Bender use a different language for programming, similar to C, but based on fragment shader languages.
  • The effects that we create using pixel bender can be applied to any display object (eg: images,vector illustrations, video clips, yes i said video).
  • Pixel Bender programs, called kernels, are written and compiled using the Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit.
  • The compiled bytecodes should be loaded into a shader object so that the Flash Player can render it. You can find the shader AS reference here.

I am recording a video showing the basics of Pixel Bender toolkit and how to import the kernal filters into Flash. will upload the video soon.
