Pixel Repeat is an After Effects plugin that creates streaks of looping pixels. Perfect for creating glitch art, repeating patterns, and other cool visuals.
RATConvert (Python, shelf tool)
Batch-convert and relink textures from path parameters to RAT files, using iconvert.
Works with UDIMs.
Install the shelf tool by placing it in $HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR/toolbar/
and adding it to a shelf using right click > ‘Edit Shelf Tab…’ > ‘Tools’.
(Or make a new shelf tool and add the Python script to it.)

Update: Since Lens Studio 5, SceneObjects can have multiple render layers. This makes Cinematic Glow’s Color Passes system obsolete. If you are using Lens Studio’s Bloom asset and still prefer to have the look of Cinematic Glow: simply replace the ‘Glow Renderer’ shader! I made sure to make it compatible.
Download from Lens Studio Asset Library! (Published under ‘Gospooky’.)
