Rupture

Damage as a material, not a filter.

Displacement, tearing and channel drift as the actual tools rather than filters bolted on at the end. Every effect is a fragment shader, so nothing is waiting for a progress bar — dragging a slider changes the image in the same frame. There's a 2D pass over a full-screen quad and a 3D mode that lifts the pixels into a point cloud you can orbit. It opens on a photo already loaded, so there's nothing to do first.

• Art-direct glitch, displacement and channel-drift on an image in real time.
• Treat damage as a material — every effect is a live fragment shader, no render wait.
• Lift pixels into an orbitable 3D point cloud for cover art or stills.

Use it live.
