Plugins that put the studio's engines inside Photoshop, and the files that feed them. Made here, drawn and scanned here, nothing generated. Bought once and yours to keep. There are no sales, so the price you see is the price there has ever been.

Threshold Maps Vol.1

asset pack

Hand-drawn ordered-dither matrices, the part nobody makes by hand any more. Feed one to a dithering engine and the grain stops looking like a computer did it. Drawn, never generated.

  • Hand-drawn ordered threshold matrices
  • PNG, ready for any custom threshold map input

A zip of PNG maps.

Real ink on real paper, scanned. Misregistration, plate wear, the tooth of the stock. Texture with a provenance, rather than texture from nowhere.

  • High-resolution scans of printed stock
  • Tileable and full-sheet versions

A zip of high-resolution scans.
