HorizonX CRT Screen
What is inside
Phosphor Bloom turns images and video into a tinted CRT screen with a fine RGB grid and soft window glare. Midnight Terminal and Jumbotron rebuild your media out of glowing rows of screen marks. True Mosaic turns photos and videos into a field of patterned pixels. Beaded Deer Sunset, Beaded Palace and Golden Pixel Horse are image sets in bead mosaic and pixel styles. Pixel Scan is a text effect whose pixel band scatters the colour channels as it passes, Pixel Effort Slider is an 8 bit range slider, and Wave is a shader whose waves break into a pixel grid.
CRT, pixel or glitch?
A CRT filter keeps the photograph and lays the screen on top: scanline grid, glow and tint. A pixel art effect replaces the photograph with blocks, so detail drops and colour carries the image. A glitch effect breaks the image apart, usually by shifting colour channels, as Pixel Scan does on text. Pick by what the image has to keep: faces and products survive a CRT filter better than a coarse mosaic.
Exports and access
Anyone can open the looks and edit them. Exporting needs a HorizonX membership, within an allowance that grows with the plan. Images export as PNG or JPEG and motion as MP4 or a PNG sequence. Pixel Scan and Pixel Effort Slider are code components and export as HTML, Svelte or React, and the Wave shader exports as code too.
What is a CRT filter?
It imitates an old cathode ray tube screen: a visible grid of red, green and blue cells, a soft glow and some glare. Phosphor Bloom applies it to your own images and video.
Can I turn a photo into pixel art?
True Mosaic rebuilds a photo or video out of patterned pixels. Adjust the cell size and colours until the subject still reads, then export.
Is there a glitch effect for text?
Pixel Scan sweeps a band of pixel blocks across a line of text and scatters its colour channels, so the copy resolves in passes. It is a code component you can export.
