It could be a great title screen for some old good action Speccy game. Or maybe it is? )))))

Oh, I totally love the weirdness of this picture. And the technique is pretty much refreshing. All in all a very unique work of art. Would give it a high place for sure. But that's just my imho.

Seemed to be the winner, when I was first looking at it online. Dunno if I was right though.

Like the sharpness of the picture. And colors seem to be pretty well chosen.

Anarkhya: thanks, very interesting stuff...

Cover of Rastan Saga.
(ed.CONS: picture added, thanks!)

kris: Ok, I got it, as the stunner pic comes from 1991, Uno may have been the first.

bracket: I'll also mention this article by Rufferto^Essence about dither history in ROM diskmag #1 (1994) http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/9223/ditherhistorybyrufferto.png

the face of ignorance

watching Mazor finish this at Asm'97 was revelating.

hi mom!

sexy

heheh, funny dragonball there

I like this DOF effect, but unfortunately on Speccy it always be looks very messy (

@Anarkhya : I met Optic in person when he was working at Eurocom in UK ten years go. He was a TRSI member from Norway.

Yes, texturing is a more correct term.

Some examples from Uno:

if allowing full preview is not an option, this pic could be cropped.

Second this, resized preview is ruining the piece.

btw, french text says:
Logo from Alex, remade with his permission, for fun !!!

kris: second this, unfortunately, I don't have infos on Optic (except few lines on scenery) I don't even know if he was an amigascener. So I cant' locate the release to capture a better output.
First used by Uno? which Uno's pictures are you thinking of?

Bracket: Thats right, I tend to think dither-smoothing when one say dithering but in fact this is most of the time dither-texturing that people refer to.
To learn and figure out yourself? Well this place is full of pattern examples but yes, I think knowing and applying could be 2 different stories

One of my all time favourite logos!!

Oh I remember that. Kinda cool actually.
