Halftones for ArtRage

[Somerset]

Some additional informations: You can easily create such halftone-textures by yourself, using GIMP (Open Source Image Editing Software). There is a Filter called "Newsprint" in the "Filters"-Menu under "Warp". It also allows to create halftone-hatches and diamond dots. You just need to create layers in greyscales with different percentage. You can also drag gradients in greyscales across a layer and apply the "Newsprint"-Filter to it. And if you apply the Filter "Color to Alpha" (Menu "Colors") to it, you can easily remove all white pixels from it to create stencils outoff it. In that case you should export the image as a PNG (*.png), to preserve the transparency.

As I said above, my halftone-stencils are to big to upload a bigger amount of samples here. The advantage of the halftone stencils is that you can change the angle of the raster lines, but it is not easy to create seamles patterns if you need more than one stencil for bigger areas. The halftones canvases are seamless but limited, because you can't change the angle.
