Rune Skovbo Johansen has developed an innovative Surface-Stable Fractal Dithering technique that adapts to 3D surfaces while maintaining dot density based on view distance and zoom level. Some are curious if this technique could be useful for Playdate’s one-bit color screen, prompting an experiment. While technically impressive, the practicality for Playdate is questioned due to its limited hardware capabilities. The intricate shader logic involved in the dithering process showcases complex math operations that may not be suitable for the device. Despite the challenges, insights gained from this experiment shed light on software rasterizers and the nuances of texturing in 3D rendering.
