What it reads

Frame-local Reads only the current frame, which makes it the cheapest kind to stack and safe to render into a Conjure window at any size.

Parameters

param	key	range	default
Amount	`amount`	0..1 (rendered to 2)	0.55
Shatter	`shatter`	0..1	0.4

The renderer widens amount past its declared maximum by 2× before it reaches the shader, because most shader bodies were tuned against a muted top end. The rendered figure is the bound that actually arrives.

Defaults as a layer

{ "effectId": "pixelExplode", "params": { "amount": 0.55, "shatter": 0.4 } }

GLSL fragment shader

The effect's own code. The uniforms and helpers above it — uTex, uFeedback, the depth proxy, the frame ring, depthAt(), timeAt() — are the same header every Ether-MOSH shader opens with, and are documented once on the registry rather than reprinted on all 143 pages.

void main(){ vec2 p = vUv - 0.5; vec4 base = texture2D(uTex, vUv); float l = dot(base.rgb, vec3(0.299,0.587,0.114)); // Shatter breaks the push into blocks, so it reads as fragments flying // apart rather than as a smooth warp. vec2 cell = vec2(mix(6.0, 48.0, uShatter)); float bl = dot(texture2D(uTex, floor(vUv * cell) / cell).rgb, vec3(0.299,0.587,0.114)); vec2 uv = vUv - p * (mix(l, bl, uShatter) - 0.5) * uAmount * 1.1; gl_FragColor = texture2D(uTex, clamp(uv, 0.0, 1.0)); }
