🔹 Overview

Pixelate Tools is a simple yet powerful Blender addon designed to apply a pixelation effect directly to your camera's render output. It leverages Blender’s compositor and offers real-time control, making it perfect for creators working on retro visuals, PSX/N64 aesthetics, or stylized renders with low-resolution charm.

🔧 Installation

1. Download the .zip file.

2. Open Blender (v3.6 or newer).

3. Go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.

4. Click Install..., select the .zip, and enable the addon.

5. The panel will appear in the 3D Viewport sidebar (press N), under the tab “Pixelate Tools by fortunaliquida”.

🎮 Features

▪️ Pixelation Slider

• Adjusts the pixel size dynamically.

• Controls the resolution division level applied to the render.

• Works in real time and is non-destructive.

▪️ Apply Pixelate

• Adds the required Compositor nodes to the active scene and connects them automatically.

• The effect will be visible in the render output only (not viewport shading).

▪️ Clean Pixelate

• Removes the pixelation effect.

• Deletes the compositor nodes added by the addon and restores the render pipeline to its original state.

🧠 Notes

• Works with Cycles, Eevee, and Workbench render engines.

• You must have Use Nodes enabled in the Compositor for the effect to apply correctly.

• The effect does not interfere with your materials, meshes, or camera setup — it's entirely post-processing.

📁 Files Included

• pixelate_tools_by_fortunaliquida.zip – installable addon

• Lightweight, clean Python script (under 10KB)

• Designed with modularity in mind
