I'm new to the compositor and I'm trying to achieve this effect: enter image description here

a little close up

enter image description here

I have tried using the pixelate, blur and directional blur nodes but the effect isn't the same, btw I got the example using the Crystallize filter in Photoshop

  • $\begingroup$ This effect doesn't look anything like blurry effect, nor pixelate.The fact that this looms a bit like a clay effect, i think it may be quite hard to achieve in the blender compositor. $\endgroup$

You could try using Blender's Displace node fed with a Voronoi texture. If the displacement is to rough then apply some gentle blur also driven by the texture.

voronoi displacement to simulate crystalize

To achieve the daubed paint effect I have added a Bilateral blur node to constrain the blur. I feed this with a mixture of the source image and the Voronoi texture.

  • $\begingroup$ Yay! Keep in mind that there are a bunch of variables in there to tweak to get the right balance between blur and detail as well as crystal size/distortion. $\endgroup$
