Welcome to Shape Shifter
Our 2026 Halloween update is here! Shape Shifter lets you build your own custom patterns in Dither Boy, with control over the shapes, colours, size, distribution, and orientation.
We’ve also added project files, new mixed media effects, and a Halloween theme where even the checkboxes can Shape Shift.
To clear up any confusion straight away, Shape Shifter is part of Dither Boy. It will stay in Dither Boy for future updates, just like Script Slayer. If you already own Dither Boy, everything here is yours for free in v6.6.6. There’s no separate purchase needed!
If you'd like to get started with Shape Shifter, below you can watch our introduction video, you can also click the button to find out how to update your current version of Dither Boy, and if you're completely new here you can grab Dither Boy, Shape Shifter, Script Slayer and all of our other updates for Dither Boy in one singular purchase below!
