Dither Pattern Designer

An editor window for interactively designing the dither matrices used by the Dither Matrix Bias effect. Changes made here are applied live to the bound effect.

Open it from the Inspector of a Dither Matrix Bias post-process component (the Open Designer button), or from the menu Window > Gamelogic > Fx > Dither Pattern Designer.

Layout

The window is divided into two panes side by side.

The Properties pane on the left shows the full set of dither properties. These are identical to the properties on the Dither Matrix Bias effect — see that page for a description of each field. Edits here feed back directly into the bound effect.

The Preview pane on the right shows a live rendering that updates as you edit. A toolbar at the top switches between two views.

Toolbar

Control	Description
Test Image	Shows the effect applied to a generated test image. The test image and zoom level are set below.
Matrix	Shows a four-quadrant greyscale visualization of the three channel matrices and their combined result (R, G, B, Combined).
?	Opens this documentation page in the browser.

Test Image controls

Visible when Test Image is active.

Control	Description
Test Image	Dropdown to select which generated test image to use as the preview source (gradients, colour ramps, etc.).
Zoom	Scales the pixel size and offset in the preview only, without modifying the bound properties. Useful for inspecting fine pattern detail up close.

Note

Pixelation is now a built-in property of the effect. Enable Pixelate in the Properties pane to preview the effect with the output snapped to the dither grid.
