Water in tilesets, classic vs EE

[Sam.]

What is the difference between stencil and dithered water in tilesets, and exactly what does the Degreenifier (tis2bg2.exe) tool do from a graphical/mathematics perspective?

What else does one need to know on this topic?

Of additional interest, who wrote tis2bg2?  I see a "(c)KD" in the CMD output.  Is that KingDiamond?

Surely someone knows? @K4thos, @argent77 ?  This topic is the source for my terminology of "stencil" vs "dithered" water.  Is there a difference in the TIS/WED files, or is the difference just how the engine renders the water animation?

@Sam. You are aware of this thread here?  Not sure whether it helps with your actual question, though.
