   Simple test of a surface-stable fractal dithering idea I had.

   This initial pattern is not very good and doesn't produce even brightness across interpolation between fractal levels, but it's a start.

     More work on surface-stable fractal dithering. The dots are now based on a (bayer) 8x8 ordered dither pattern.

     Note how the dither patterns follow the surfaces from small to large, yet the dot sizes and spacing remain roughly constant in screen space.

     I also replaced the hardcoded light with support for Unity's lighting/shadows/specular.

     Bernie repeated this.

     I don't even need this for any project, it's just an idea I had since playing Obra Dinn, and needed to try out.

     Another test of surface-stable fractal dithering, now with texture and normal mapping.

     I reduced the dot size a bit for this one; make sure to watch in full-screen. Video compression is also not kind to this effect.
