Tech

The effect works by calculating a deviation for each pixel of the original image from the nearest color,</br> if it is large enough it replaces it with the second closest color from the palette doing it according to the ScreenSpace pattern or random noise. </br>

Dither Power, palette, pattern type and its animation can be customized in VolumeSettings or in RenderFeature settings.</br> All calculations are performed in the fragment shader through hased Lut tables.</br>

To measure a colors of an original image three lut table are used

• palette color - color replacement from the palette
• deviation color - second closest color from the palette
• and measure - distance to the clossets color, used evaluate dithering power

Tables are generated at Runtime when an unknown palette is used for the first time and shared beetween all features.</br>
