View in full resolution to see the differences. Pixel art scaling algorithms are graphical filters that attempt to enhance the appearance of hand-drawn 2D pixel art graphics. These algorithms are a form of automatic image enhancement.
Subpixel rendering is a method used to increase the effective resolution of a color display device. It takes advantage of each pixel 's composition of individually addressable red, green, and blue components adjacent on the display matrix, called subpixels , and uses them as rendering units instead of pixels.
The High-Level Shader Language [1] or High-Level Shading Language [2] (HLSL) is a proprietary shading language developed by Microsoft for the Direct3D 9 API to augment the shader assembly language, and went on to become the required shading language for the unified shader model of Direct3D 10 and higher.
libretro implements two families of shaders in Slang/HLSL, GLSL, and Cg: The hqx family, which is true hqx. [6] As it runs on modern GPUs, lookup tables are substituted by textures. [7] The textures were generated by interrogating a modified version of hqx for its switch/case. The scalehq family, which is frequently confused with hqx. It is not ...
The shader assembly language in Direct3D 8 and 9 is the main programming language for vertex and pixel shaders in Shader Model 1.0/1.1, 2.0, and 3.0. It is a direct representation of the intermediate shader bytecode which is passed to the graphics driver for execution.
Initial implementations of full-scene anti-aliasing worked conceptually by simply rendering a scene at a higher resolution, and then downsampling to a lower-resolution output. Most modern GPUs are capable of this form of anti-aliasing, but it greatly taxes resources such as texture, bandwidth, and fillrate .
As a simple example, consider a sphere.A discrete LOD approach would cache a certain number of models to be used at different distances. Because the model can trivially be procedurally generated by its mathematical formulation, using a different number of sample points distributed on the surface is sufficient to generate the various models required.
In computer graphics, a texture mapping unit (TMU) is a component in modern graphics processing units (GPUs). They are able to rotate, resize, and distort a bitmap image to be placed onto an arbitrary plane of a given 3D model as a texture, in a process called texture mapping.
