About this asset

A retro JPEG compression aesthetic with real-time glitch simulation & frame blending
A stylized image effect for Unity URP inspired by analog media, lossy codecs, and early internet graphics. This asset replicates the quirks of digital decay and aesthetic imperfection using YCbCr color space tricks, chroma compression, scanline drift and experimental framerate blending.
Perfect for dreamcore, weirdcore, PS1 demakes, VHS-inspired visuals, or projects embracing retrofuturism and nostalgic digital art.
• YCbCr Conversion Glitcher — Authentically mimics how JPEG compression handles luminance (Y) and chroma (Cb/Cr) data, introducing realistic desaturation, channel misalignment, and soft bleed effects.
• Chroma Color Distortions — Downsamples chroma components with user-defined resolution and quantization depth — causing dynamic color shifting, signal drift, and glitchy fringing across movement and edges.
• Scanline Drift — Simulates camera readout delay and analog scanline ghosting — great for emulating old hardware or distorted memories.
• FPS Ghosting & Temporal Glitches — Freeze or blend frames in real-time with experimental framerate mixing. From harsh frame cuts to smooth temporal echo, create surreal motion stutter, dreamlike trails, or retro low-fps feel. Includes several interpolation modes: noise-based, weight-controlled, and color-space aware blending.
