JUST LIKE REAL LIFE
In traditional halftoning screens for printers, the screen is rotated at a 45 degree angle to make the dot pattern look a little bit better and a little less parallel with the page.
I tried to do that here and it, uh, well, sort of worked.
The dither pattern is rotated at 45 degrees, but I struggled to find a good threshold matrix. I did my best to find one that looked good but really was not able to manage well.
The non-rotated matrix actually somehow looks more rotated than the rotated one. I'm not sure if my method was different than the book or not, but the unrotated matrix actually looks pretty good.
UUUHHHHHH
This is the beautiful T-Mobile Park in Seattle, home of the universally beloved Seattle Mariners!
What? You couldn't tell? Well as much as I wanted to depict the beauty of my favorite sports team the clustered-dot method is just not good with high-detail images.
I'm not joking when I say that I tried every single picture I took in the PNW and the only one that really looked good with this effect was the one of two nude cartoon cowboys embracing.
Anyways, #goms
