New dithering method dropped

I call it Surface-Stable Fractal Dithering and I've released it as open source along with this explainer video of how it works.

@runevision It's so straightforward, I don't know how the Obra Dinn devs didn't think of it. 😅

@scyzoryk @Craigp @dukope Well to get serious, like I say in the video, I don’t actually think my dithering would have been better to use in Obra Dinn. But anyway, hi Lucas! Thanks for inspiring me and hope you like the video and how it covers Obra Dinn dithering.

@runevision @Craigp @dukope

Yeah i don’t see Obra Dinn working as well with this technique. Seems too deliberate a choice for the author

@runevision Incredible work! Looks absolutely fantastic and “Johansen Fractal Dither” is a great name.

@runevision @scyzoryk @Craigp @dukope I haven't watched your video yet, but my guess is this is object space/texture space versus screen space for Obra Dinn. I like the way Obra Dinn looks because it is a proper screen space dithering where every dither point has the same size. Looks really like an old Mac or Hercules graphics game.

@runevision @scyzoryk @Craigp @dukope It would be interesting to know if subsurface fractal rendering allows recognisable faces (as in Obra Dinn), or if different dithering patterns can be used for different materials!
