DITHR TOOL
Version 0.26





OVERVIEW
LICENSE
SUPPORT
DITHR is a web tool on p5.js that allows users to upload and process 3D models (OBJ format), video files (MP4, MOV, WebM) and raster images, by applying rasterization algorithms with various customizable filters and custom gradient maps based on WebGL shaders.

The result can be exported to a PNG graphic file with several resolution settings, and it is also possible to capture and export video to MP4 / WebM format when loading 3D models or video files into the tool.

Moreover, by loading a 3D model into the program, the tool includes the possibility of interactive interaction with the model using a mouse or touchpad, featuring basic light settings, and animation setup of the movement of the object in space.

As always, the program provides a lot of ready-made presets for quick application of rasterization effects, plus you can export and save your own presets as JSON files for easy reuse.

Currently, the program allows you to choose one of the algorithms to process the image:

  • ASCII text conversion using various built-in fonts
  • Ordered dithering based on several Bayer matrices
  • Basic halftone rasterization
  • Halftone CMYK printing emulation rasterization
  • Predefined patterns with blue noise textures for the void-and-cluster dithering method

The tool is available as a free version. The free version is fully functional but adds watermarks to exported graphics. This allows you to thoroughly evaluate its capabilities before committing.

To remove watermarks and obtain usage rights for the tool, please purchase a license key at Gumroad. You can find the detailed Terms of Use agreement and descriptions of license types below.

The tool accepts raster images in JPG/PNG/WebP formats as source material, and it also support transparency. To import video into the program, please use the following types: MP4, MOV and WebM formats. 

  • 3D Objects: The tool supports 3D models in OBJ format only. Also note that textures for models (MTL files) are not supported and there may be an error message when loading such models, but it will not affect the functionality of the tool. As an option, you can edit the OBJ file with a text editor and remove all references to MTL textures.

  • Browser: I recommend running the tool in Chrome browser, this is especially important for processing video files; for image processing I didn't notice a strong difference between Chrome/Firefox/Safari. In case you experience poor performance, try switching to a different browser.

  • Screen size: A minimum resolution of 800x600 is required.

Since the code is hosted on Openprocessing.org, there might be times when the program is temporarily offline during a site maintenance.

Please let me know if you're running into any issues or discover a bug while using the program.
