Download & Tutorial: ASCII Glitch Reveal Animation in Dither Boy

Recently we added an effect called Neo Glow to Dither Boy in our v6.6.6 update! While I was experimenting with it, I accidentally stumbled upon this effect, which is a "reveal" sort of animation where your image emerges from the ASCII pattern created by Neo Glow. To get a good result from this effect, make sure you use a clearly lit subject on dark background!

You can get a full tutorial here, or download my project file below.

In the tutorial I use this stock image, I got this from a site called Freepik but it looks like they have rebranded to an AI thing now, either way here is the link.

If you need any help importing the project file into your Dither Boy, I will cover the new process in a video soon, but just go to File > Open Project and then browse to the location you unzipped the above download at.
