for the past few days I had been trying to recreate a meatball halftone effect I saw on twitter by hahajohnx. I couldn't get it right as the method he was probably using is very different from the one I have implemented in unity. here are a few images I got while making the effect.
a blocky black silouhette of a character created using pixelation, edge detection, grayscaling and dithering. the silhouette is like a portrait shot from the chest up. the background is solid white. the same silouhette of a character created using halftone effect which is like a grid of dots that make up the image, the dots are of different colour based on the original image color. same silhouette but this time its a mix of the grid like haltone effect with a meatball effect on alternating diagonal rows. basically its like the dots on the grid are joining each other diagonally based on their size, the bigger ones join and the smaller ones stay detached, distance between them is actually the main factor, being bigger just gives them an advantage. in this image only the very big ones join as the other dots are a little bit smaller and farther apart to join properly. the dots are of black and blue color but the background is also black so the black dots just blend in. this is the same effect as previous but this time the dots color are black and a pale lime yellow. the background is white.

I ported 3 different 2d metaballs to work with unity 22lts there are some issues like instead of using a alpha cutoff I am doing a brightness check (I couldn't figure out why it didn't work) here is the repo for it github.com/saimarei/2DM...
