Crafting a Better Shader for Pixel Art Upscaling
In this episode, we explore a subject that was only tangentially related to my game project: rendering pixel art with anti-aliasing. Applications for this technique range from anti-aliasing for pixel-art textures in low-poly games like Minecraft, to games that primarily feature pixel art sprites in 3D environments, like Octopath Traveler. This video was submitted as an entry to the #SoME3 competition.
