Thanks for the answer!

I reproduced the node diagram you sent me here as well.

I did not understand all of the principles, but the effect was amazingly ideal.

Not only the resolution, but also the tonality and intensity of the shading can be adjusted all at once, which is really great!

Finally, we would like to render the image keeping this clean pixel effect as much as possible.

The most ideal result would be that anti-aliasing would be disabled and the dots generated by "Dither-Bayers_ThreeTone" would be 1 pixel of the actual rendered image.

For the moment, I have set X:Y = 3:4 (768px:1024px) and rendered the image with the composite node "PixelComposit" set as shown in the image, but what should I consider these parameters?

As a start you should have the Pixel Composit node back to it's original settings. The real setting you need to change is resolution of the "Dither-Bayers_ThreeTone" node in the shader. The value it should be "render resolution x" devided by "x scale" divided by ten: which in your case would equal 25.6. However that will be very low resolution to start. So you'll probably want to multiply that value, but when you do so make sure you multiply the resolution value in the pixel composite node by the same value.

for example

multiplier	x1	x2	x3
shader resolution	25.6	51.2	76.8
compositor resolution	100	200	300

I really should have written better instructions because I completely forgot to mention this part anywhere. These node groups are all almost entirely math based, meaning that there is usually an equation you need to reference when tweaking the settings. Something I should probably do is add some more parameters to the node groups so that they can do all of this math for you. these will be things to think about for the next update I make.

I hope this was helpful and feel free to contact me with any more questions.

I entered the parameters I was given as a reference, and this also had the effect I was hoping for surprisingly.

That is exactly the kind of calculation I wanted to know. Thank you!

As you say, I would feel more comfortable if these values were entered automatically, as long as the proper values are determined by the calculation.

Yes, if I have any more questions, I will ask them!

It was a great encounter with this node for me.

I wish AshCruz all the best in his creative, further development and success.
