another shot of the Retro Surface material I'm making to make using nice crunchy pixel textures look right in #unrealengine

Using some UV tricks from Inigo Quilez's blog, I was able to get very convincing pixel textures but still using regular samplers - meaning you get to use shared samplers, anisotropic filtering, etc!
I also have some PBR inference from color textures worked in too. Textures by Makkon.

this is pretty close

Using tricks with UVs that has apparently existed for a long time, was finally able to get a point filtered look with anisotropic filtering. All this really is under the hood is 'pixelating' the uvs with the shader while still using all the other ordinary texture sampler stuff #unreal #retro #ue5

Another screenie of Vesper, a character modeled by @themistercat.bsky.social

Using a trick where I blend between point filtering and bilinear aniso over distance and grazing angle to avoid moire patterns #unreal #retrofps #gamedev
