Why pn earth would Adobe drop this hugely successful and uniqe set of plug-ins/filters! I know a lot of people are very unhappy about this. I really hope Adobe changes its mind and comes out with an upgrade/patch to fix this problem.

Hi, @strawbo13 Even if the technology behind Pixel Bender is not there anymore, I keep wondering if an official support of say, Paper.JS or processing inside a UXP container would not please lots of users...

So now: let's get social sites nicks of those original developer team members and kindly ask them to continue on their personal not commercial basis (meant as a joke but it would be great if someting similiar to that would ever happened, be it under different name or whatever, just to have Pixel Blender ability of writing Photoshop filter plugin easy way which I personally miss a lot these days). 😄

Ive been playing with Oil Paint filter in PS CS6, and its fairly good. 
I guess its what we got for a replacement. And Topaz Glow has something a bit similar. Of course they are not like the original PB, but we can have fun with Oil Paint anyway. Does a good job on our dog.
