Implementation and exploration of Runevision's Surface Stable Fractal Dithering.
The idea is to represent shades with dot densities, but have these dots map to the textures themselves rather than a filter on the viewport.
The challenge then becomes keeping every dot on screen the same size, which is where the "fractal" comes in.

OUTLINES
Once I finished my implementation, I noticed many issues with this form of dithering, from stretchiness at an angle to general lack of details in indoor scenes.
I found I could help these issues by adding outlines.
You can also obtain a different effect by swapping out the dots.
