Purists will still complain, but anyone with a little taste and working eyes will say that the shot below is much better looking and it actually reflects the artists choice of colors. If you switch to undithered mode before entering that screen, the gate in KQ1 is also undithered and it looks quite nice then.īefore posting screens, you should have informed yourself first about how undithering works instead of posting inaccurate comparison screenshots. That caused the gate to remain dithered, because the view is cached. You switched during the game between modes. King's Quest I UNDITHERED - The tree now looks like a bizarre mishmash of jagged lines. The artist used jagged dithered lines on the tree leaves to resemble subtle depth and shading. MusicallyInspired wrote: King's Quest I DITHERED - The tree on the righthand side is the focus. The rock obviously stands out, and that's a product of an imperfect undithering function which our amazing SCI devs have been tweaking over time. I interpret them as 'the artist gasping for more colors' and that's where we differ, and art is very open to interpretation. You're interpreting the dithered elements as 'soft brush strokes', but that's just your interpretation. Those 'jagged lines' you complain about were there to begin with, you just chose (in my opinion) not to see them. Since it's activated by default, those users who are purists (such as yourself) care about it enough to dig in the ini file and turn it off.Īs for your examples, I personally think (again, just my opinion) every one of them save the last one illustrates the beauty of the undithering. In the meantime, I think about it like this: if the undithering was an opt-in option in the ini file, the average user would never find out about it. Musically Inspired, I agree that ideally we should have a checkbox that allows enabling/disabling undithering.
