The basic premise is you take a chunk of pixels from an image, order them by some criteria (in pixlshift's case, the value of the R, G, and B channels averaged together), and then put them back where you found them, all reordered like.Currently, I am taking in one texture, then feeding the output back in as the second texture. Pixel sorting is a technique popularized by an artist named Kim Asendorf. I am new to glsl, but have a decent amount of experience in max msp and jitter, so that is where I am trying to implement it (syntax should be similar enough though, but it's glsl version 2.1).pixel sort. I decided to write a simple pixel sort node for Nuke as practice in Blinkscript, and it has some extra features All pixel sorted images and video on this page.I'm working on emulating in glsl an effect I've seen used pretty widely (example in image).

Take the color value from the initial, luma selected pixel. Please note that pixel perfect column width is virtually impossible to. I assume that I need to:I could format the values server side, but then it will be sorted as a string by.
