Orion4D Halftone Studio V2 is a portable Windows x64 studio for creative halftones, print separations, typography and 3D reliefs. Image processing runs locally, and the app is free to use with optional donations.

What’s new in V2

  • More ways to turn an image into artwork. Create vector or pixel halftones, ASCII art and word clouds from photos or SVG silhouettes. Generate reusable patterns in Pattern Lab.
  • Print separations and layers. Prepare two-colour, three-colour, CMYK and multi-ink separations with up to eight inks. Adjust screens and ink curves individually, use spot-colour swatches and ICC profiles, and export films or layered files.
  • Depth and 3D tools. Remove backgrounds and generate depth maps offline. Use depth and normal maps to guide halftones, or create sculpted screens, lithophanes, directional engravings and two-image sculptures. Export stills, GIF or MP4 animations, and STL or OBJ meshes from supported modes.
  • Custom JavaScript effects. Write and preview pixel effects, add adjustable controls and save reusable scripts as presets. The optional local MCP server lets compatible clients apply presets, test effects and export PNGs.
  • Independent input and export sizes. Set the working resolution before processing in Single Image or Batch Processing, then choose the export size separately.

Orion4D Halftone Studio V1.0.1

This maintenance release fixes a rendering inconsistency between the preview and enlarged Vector Hybrid exports.

Fixed

  • Vector Dots Hybrid exports with Distortion now preserve the same visual distortion field as the preview.
  • Sine Wave, Radial Twist and Perlin Noise 2D distortion coordinates are now resolution-independent.
  • Enlarging an export increases detail without changing the frequency or composition of the distortion.
  • Vector sampling-noise coordinates now remain consistent across output resolutions.
  • The final Hybrid PNG export retains the complete preview pipeline, including highlight and shadow clipping, transition softness and high-quality compositing.

Compatibility

  • Existing B&W, Vector Dots and Pixel Dots presets remain compatible.
  • Existing settings and custom SVG dots can be reused without conversion.

Installation

  1. Download Orion4D_Halftone_Studio_V1-1_Multilingual_Windows.zip.
  2. Extract the complete archive into a new writable folder.
  3. Launch Orion4D-Halftone-Studio-Portable-1.0.1.exe.

If upgrading from V1.0.0, copy your custom settings.json, presets/ and svg_dots/ files into the new folder if required.

Portable Windows x64 application. No installation, Python or Node.js required.
