Dithering?

Disclaimer: I may not know what I'm talking about :)

 

I was surprised to see in an update to Subnautica the feature of dithering. I always understood this was to fake more colours in applications that use less than 24 bits of colour. Now I read Unity provides it anyway to help with colour banding: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PostProcessing-Dithering.html

 

Dark mod suffers from colour banding, too. I notice it mostly when the lantern is on and you're standing on a snowy texture.

 

Is this something that is feasible and could help?

I use a ReShade setup with a Debanding filter, which is pretty much just non-pattern dithering and it alleviates the issue. Not everyone has OpenGL 4.3 (iirc that was the required version for ReShade) however, so an inbuilt dithering shader in the post processing wouldn't hurt.

LOL :D

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
