FUZZ_
Analog texture that disappears into the image.
7 texture layers. 15 presets. Metal GPU. Grain, halation, softening — layered, stackable, built to look physical.
One-time purchase. No subscription. No account.
The qualm
Digital grain sits on top of the image. Film grain lives inside it.
Grain presets apply a static texture over the frame. They do not respond to image luminance, saturation, or local contrast. Film grain modulates with the image. It is heavier in the shadows, finer in the highlights, and it breathes with the frame.
FUZZ_ computes texture from the image data, not over it. Each layer is luminance-aware. Stack them and the result reads as photochemical, not processed.
7 Layers
Stack them. Each one earns its place.
Grain
Luminance-weighted grain. Heavier in shadows, finer in highlights.
Halation
Red/orange bloom behind specular highlights. Light scattering back through film base.
Softening
Soft highlight diffusion with controllable radius and blend.
Gate Weave
Subtle frame instability that mimics projector gate float.
Vignette
Optical lens falloff. Modelled from real lens light falloff curves.
Breathing
Organic frame-scale fluctuation. Mechanical breathing of film cameras.
Flicker
Per-frame luminance variation. Practical tungsten and projector flutter.
15 Presets
Starting points. Not endpoints.
Each preset is a calibrated layer combination built from real film stocks and projection environments. They load a complete texture state. Tweak from there.

Under the hood
Metal GPU. Luminance-aware. Real-time.
Apple Metal
Native GPU compute. Zero-copy buffer pipeline. All 7 layers composited in a single GPU pass.
Luminance-aware grain
Grain intensity samples local image luminance. Shadow grain stays chunky. Highlight grain stays fine. Matches how film actually responds.
Full colour depth
32-bit float through the entire texture stack. No clamping in the highlight bloom. No banding in the shadow fade.
Deterministic noise
Same seed, same grain, every render. Frame-locked noise for consistent output from timeline scrub to final export.
Privacy
Offline. Always.
FUZZ_ runs entirely on your GPU. No internet connection. No telemetry. No accounts. No cloud rendering. Your footage stays on your machine.
Safe for NDA work. Nothing leaves your system.
