Title: Dither Brush
Post by: v6v on 2012-07-06, 02:32:34 PM

Yet another question. Can there be a collection of dither brushes to the SGDK2 graphics editor? This would simplify the task of hand-dithering graphics.

A variety of pixel pattern brushes would attract a large amount of pixel artists and simplify the task of dithering. It shouldn't be too much of an issue to add, right?

I don't understand the purpose of dithering in a 24-bit color game with 255 alpha levels.

I know that the alpha channel and the 24 bit color removes the need for a dither brush, but it is an effect that seems to be used quite often in modern pixel spriting, despite current technology. >.> Nevermind though. It was just a small dream, I'll have to stick to pixel by pixel hand dithering....
