Example Kernels

Some example Blink kernels are listed below. If you’re unsure how to implement something in a Blink kernel, check the Features for each example to find a kernel that might be doing something similar.

BallomaticKernel

The BallomaticKernel applies a distorting lens-like effect to its input.

Features:

Iteration Type	Input Access	Functions Used
Pixelwise	Random	pow()

BoxBlur1DKernel

The BoxBlur1DKernel does a one-dimensional box blur on its input.

Features:

Iteration Type	Input Access	Functions Used
Componentwise	1D Ranged	None

BoxBlur2DKernel

The BoxBlur2DKernel does a two-dimensional box blur on its input.

Features:

Iteration Type	Input Access	Functions Used
Componentwise	2D Ranged	None

ConvolutionKernel

The ConvolutionKernel convolves its input with a second, filter input.

Features:

Iteration Type	Input Access	Functions Used
Pixelwise	2D Ranged, Random	None

CurtainKernel

The CurtainKernel applies a rippling effect to its input.

Features:

Iteration Type	Input Access	Functions Used
Componentwise	1D Ranged	sin()

DepthBlurKernel

The DepthBlurKernel blurs an image according to the depth.

Features:

Iteration Type	Input Access	Functions Used
Pixelwise	2D Ranged, Random	clamp()

InvertKernel

The InvertKernel inverts the colours on its input. (This kernel is the default when you create a BlinkScript node.)

Features:

Iteration Type	Input Access	Functions Used
Componentwise	Point	None

LensFlareKernel

The LensFlareKernel generates a tunable lens flare.

Features:

Iteration Type	Input Access	Functions Used

Median5x5Kernel

The Median5x5Kernel does a 5x5 median filter on its input.

Features:

Iteration Type	Input Access	Functions Used
Componentwise	2D Ranged	median()

ResizeKernel

The ResizeKernel scales its input horizontally or vertically using a bilinear filter.

Features:

Iteration Type	Input Access	Functions Used
Componentwise	Random	bilinear()

SwirlomaticKernel

The SwirlomaticKernel warps part of its input around in a swirl.

Features:

Iteration Type	Input Access	Functions Used
Pixelwise	Random	cos(), sin()

WipeKernel

The WipeKernel does a wipe between two inputs.

Features:

Iteration Type	Input Access	Functions Used
Componentwise	Point	cos(), sin()

ParticleWindKernel

The ParticleWindKernel is a particle system kernel that simulates wind on particles.

Features:

Iteration Type	Input Access	Functions Used
Pixelwise	Point	particles

ParticleFuseKernel

The ParticleFuseKernel is a particle system kernel that fuses particles toegether when they get too close to each other.

Features:

Iteration Type	Input Access	Functions Used
Pixelwise	Random	particles
