convert 3d models to voxels, while retaining colors. most likely using geometry nodes

like this

would just require swapping the dither pattern texture out.

hard part is deciding how the user would change it

idk why

This feature would automatically apply a palette to an image, rather than just colorizing a single ramp with the ditherer feature

This tool would swap out sprites based on the distance from or angle to camera

I'm not sure this is even possible, but I want to find a way to make it so you can render a sprite in the viewport, and it's perfectly 1x in the render, without being scaled, no matter what your viewport size is or how far it is from the camera.

Perhaps theres a way to get info about the render settings into geometry nodes and it can calculate that along with the depth to scale it to an amount where it would be the perfect size.

Would of course also have to be combined with the billboard tool to make sure they aren't rotated.

This would be awesome for old school effects where they made things look 3d with just sprites (from games like ballz, vectorman), as well particle effects or small distant sprites which would just get scrambled by scaling.

PS1 had a form of snapping applied to vertexes, which sometimes causes them to jitter when moved. Being able to replicate this in blender would help add authenticity for people trying to mimic the style.

A post processing filter which would output ASCII art

would just require an extra row control which does some division on y-offets

it would be nice to have a filter that could be thrown onto the output to give a crt effect
