Even if posted more than once on hacker news, there is a interesting forum post [1] from Lucas Pope, the author of Obra Dinn, describing dither mapping in 3d. [2] (2017) has some more links
Every time I read a Lukas Pope post, I just want to clap. He is someone who truly grasps the intersection of experience and ingestion. If anyone could embody a digital artist, it would be him, since he seems to work to create things with the full intention of how they’re seen. A true hacker.
