Rendering Small Sprite

Development Rendering

Hi,

I have a sprite animation, and when i resize it to make it small. the rendering is nood good because of the black outline.

Is there a way to fix that? You can compare the normal object with the small. All details on the small becomes weird and make it looks bad.

Hey @BakuryuReitoken, welcome to the forums!
Have you turned aliasing off? I know that when it comes to most assets you’re scaling down, anti-aliasing is essential for higher-quality because it smooths out the scaled pixels.

I hope this can help!

Hi,

I have try again, and i have something correct when i use the Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA).
But is it ok to use it? it’s not possible to have something good without it?

I’m asking that because most people in videogame remove the anti-aliasing in the parameters.

And is it possible to have different anti-aliasing for different object? or it’s global to everything?

Thanks for your time.

Hey @BakuryuReitoken,
Well, you want Anti-Aliasing to be on, which turns Aliasing off so it does not make those jagged lines in the render.
Most people recommend it being off because it comes at a cost to performance to do the math for those calculations to smooth. But, without a higher quality graphic or SVG, Anti-Aliasing is probably your next best option.

Hi, What do you mean by that? But, without a higher quality graphic or SVG

I try to create big images with high quality, i was not expecting to have such bad result when i reduce the size… i can understand when i try to make it bigger… but smaller it’s surprising.

What is a high quality graphic then?

@BakuryuReitoken
It really depends on what your projected viewport resolution is going to be because I try to go for a minimum of 4X resolution scale when I’m not working with pixel art or SVG. I try to also strive for a higher PPU when working in PNG. You can change these settings in the editor too, as well as upon creation of the assets.
I definitely recommend turning anti-aliasing back on, especially with 2D games, just because you have a lot of room you are saving in performance comparatively anyway. Resolution and PPU are my next best recommendations.
Hope this can help,
