[suggestion] two-colour gradient (woven dithering) example
ES-Alexander opened this issue · comments
Technique presented by u/Vicckkky on Reddit, and
based on a research paper called Dual-Color Mixing for Fused Deposition Modeling Printers by Tim Reiner, Nathan Carr, Radomír Mech, Ondrej Štava, Carsten Dachsbacher & Gavin Miller.
Illustrative screenshots taken from the posted video:
I haven't looked at the paper, but from the display it seems to be two anti-phase-locked sinusoids of different colours that are offset, and either the offset or amplitude is varied to provide a variable proportion between the two colours. The technique could be applied to a flat shape, but for structural stability during printing it likely makes sense to include some base curvature unless it's part of an existing more stable structure.
I wasn't aware of this concept, but it's really cool and so easy to implement! Definitely need to make a gist of it or add a function in lab!
