Hello,

I would like to find a pixel (or color) and record at specific points at being shown to the camera. My intention is then to place a square of that color to feign a pixilation as the color was recorded. I was looking into other options and the next best option was to just look at the related PNG and leave it at that. However, because the player might be doing something (moving a tool or something) there would be a disconnect and it would limit my usage of this fake pixilation for other things. Also if there is an easier suggestion to solve this I would be open to it.
