It felt very close to be done two days ago. But then i did some in depth field test and it didn´t work as flawless as i wanted it to be. Beside that, i am currently very occupied inside a half time job.
The current state feels actually very polished. The Visuals are good, the implementation is easier then before and it is easier to use in regular workflows. The newest step was to combine the Postprocess Volume with this Effect so that it doesn´t break any standard workflow. This actor injects into any referenced Volume and writes and reads values from it. So that is a bonus feature inside the package which i hope it feels as much convenient to use for you as it does to me. I have to admit though, it is some kind of overthinking. There is a risk that this feature wasn´t needed in the first place. I really want to finish it as fast as i can or my own desire of reaching perfection might cause me alot of more unnecessary pain and wasted time.
The most interesting feature is to change the dither Methods. I don´t like to use standart routines, so i found 4 artistic interesting methods.
The newest one looks very good for 12+ Color Steps and the second one is a very harsh method to simulate old 4+ color steps which looks perfect with desaturation or single color effects.
Like always, another work in progress screenshot with the newest method :
