SketchBound-V3.0 — New Styles!

✨ New Features

• Blueprint Mode — A new Drawing Style. White linework on a blue background, no textures, with a world grid.
• Chalkboard Mode — A new Drawing Style. White chalk on a dark board, no textures, with a chalk dust haze.
• Comic Mode — A new Drawing Style. Bold, solid lines with cel shading and Ben-Day dots.

• Ben-Day Dots — New shading style alongside Hatching, used by Comic and Textureless Comic.
• Pencil Blend Mode — New Multiply/Screen setting for how the pencil color combines with the page, so light-colored pencils (like Blueprint's white lines) render correctly.
• Paper Color Overhaul — Paper/board color moved from a single Warmth slider to full Hue, Saturation, and Brightness (whiteness) controls, so it's no longer limited to sepia tones. Powers the Blueprint and Chalkboard backgrounds.

🔧 Improvements

• Entity Vertex Distortion — Vertex Distortion is now applied to Entities, and is enabled by default.
• Cloud/Glass Fix — Fixed volumetric clouds appearing to render in front of glass.
• Cloud/Pencil Line Fix — Fixed volumetric clouds suppressing the player's own pencil line rendering.

🔧 Improvements

⚠️ Known Issues

SketchboundBound-V2.1 — Painterly Mode!

This is a major update which mainly adds a Painterly color style! If you would like this to be the default, check out PaintBound!
We are skipping to V2.1 to stay consistent with PaintBound versioning.

✨ New Features

• Painterly Mode — A new Drawing Style that uses a Kuwahara filter to give the world an painted look!
• Volumetric Godrays — Crepuscular rays radiating from the sun and moon.
• Purkinje Effect — At night, colours desaturate and shift toward blue-green, simulating how human vision works in low light.
• Dynamic Handheld Light Sources — Handheld light-emitting blocks (torches, lanterns, etc.) now illuminate surroundings.
• Color Temperature — New slider in Color Grading to shift white balance toward warm or cool tones.
• Lut Creator! — Added an included script to make custom luts!

🔧 Improvements

• Color Palettes now use LUTs by default — Dramatically faster than the old brute-force lookup. The old Custom 1×N mode is still available for testing palettes from sites like lospec.com, and a new Custom LUT option lets you supply your own pre-baked LUT.
• White Vignette now has three separate controls (Strength, Radius, Softness) grouped in a dedicated sub-screen.
• Cave Darkness — A new slider to control how dark underground areas are. Also fixes the root cause: previously the shader used the wrong sky-light value, making caves nearly as bright as the surface.
• Shadow transition fix — Fixed a visual shadow artifact that appeared briefly at sunrise and sunset.
• Reduced file size — Removed unused luts and palette png's.

⚠️ Known Issues

• Sky Texture Outlines (sun/moon/stars) fail to render through ice and stained glass.
