Using “Pattern Dithering” instead of Diffusion (GIMP: “Positioned” instead of “Floyd-Steinberg”) will create less tiles, but small patterns tend to be problematic in 3D stereo images, …
Image No. 6 in the MARIO KART 7 Reel No. 2 is a good example of how pattern dithering can rescue your image:
• with Diffusion Dithering GRIT counted 2600 tiles
• with Pattern Dithering GRIT counted only 1983 tiles
The background wasn’t even separated and pre-dithered in this image. I guess, our brains just know that the sky is located very far away, so pattern dithering doesn’t seem to create many 3d problems in this case …
Update / advanced tip:
GRIT always counts 1 tile more than needed

◦ If the tiles count is more than20332034, refer to Part 2 of the Graphics Tutorial.• Open: …\VueMasterImage1\Definition\VueMasterImage1Definition.c
• Paste/replace the tiles count of image 1 under “CharSetROMDef” (line 49).
◦ If the tiles count is exactly 2034, you can type 2033 here.• Now repeat this procedure (Step 4) for every image, that you have replaced before …
Meanwhile KR155E told me, that GRIT always counts 1 tile more than it found in your image. That means, that you can write one tile less into the definition file ( :vb: Step 4). For example, if GRIT counts exactly 2034 tiles in your image, you can still use it by typing 2033 into the definition file!
Image No. 4 in the MARIO KART 7 Reel No. 2 has exactly 2033 tiles (which is the absolute maximum for VUE-MASTER images). GRIT counted 2034 tiles – see source files attached …

In the next Reel, I want to try some ingame graphics from MK7 …
Here comes the next Reel, featuring in-game graphics this time:
MARIO KART 7 – REEL No. 2: “Toad on the Road”
I’ve also updated the splash animation: it run’s smoother now and is in original resolution / scale.
But I had to crop some images in this reel, to reduce tiles count …
I also share my graphic source files for the Reel – feel free to use them, if you want to pimp up your REELease post, for example …
2D files:
• Alpha
• Texture of the Demo Reel
• PSD composition file with editable text layers (CS6)
3D formats:
• C4D
• FBX
• OBJ
The UV layout of the 3D Reel also matches the 2D files …
