Pixtube is out now! A few people asked for a standalone version, so I decided to turn it into a proper release. You can draw pixel art, switch between Raw / CRT / Split views, mess around with CRT simulation and retro signal effects, and generally make pixels look weird and fun. The CRT and analog signal simulation is built on shaders I’ve been developing and refining for around two years 😳 It includes Composite and RF signal processing, 240p / 480i display simulation, and more — and I plan to keep improving it over time. It also includes pixtube-player, so you can throw your own images, GIFs, and videos into it and run them through 240p, 480i, NES, PC-88, Composite, RF, etc. I use Pixtube myself, so I’ll keep working on it and improving it as I go. komm64.itch.io/pixtube

(1/3) pixtube 1.0.8 / pixtube player 1.0.9 are out 📺 ■ New display signals Besides TV, you can now preview on PC monitors (VGA 480p / SVGA 600p). Beam width and color fringe are based on real monitor specs. ■ New CRT algorithm The old one is still available: Options >

Toriel absolutely holds burgers like this.

I have two interesting examples that come to mind. A. I used to be into photography, and I was a big fan of the Zeiss Otus lens. It has incredibly well-corrected optical aberrations, producing images that are almost impossibly perfect. Sometimes the results looked so perfect that you'd almost suspect they were CG. We're just so used to seeing photos with optical imperfections. B. About ten years ago, a lot of games tried to make their visuals look more realistic by adding chromatic aberration in post-processing, deliberately lowering saturation, and making specular highlights excessively glaring. They'd introduce imperfections as a kind of seasoning for realism. (These days, though, I feel like such effects are used more naturally, depending on the artistic needs of each game.) In other words, camera lenses pursue perfection and end up straying from our sense of realism, while games pursue realism by moving away from perfection. There's an interesting symmetry there.

DLSS 5 is undoubtedly an interesting technology, but what I wonder is whether making things look more photorealistic actually improves physical accuracy in reproducing reality, or whether it simply makes things look more like what we're used to seeing in photos and videos.

My favorite thing about running a Discord server is watching the members get fed up when the Toriel and Asgore bots occasionally get into ridiculously long conversations with each other.

(1/4) Thank you all so much for picking up Pixtube! And if you haven't got it yet, help keep food on my table! 😂 I'm working on a pretty big update right now. Here's a little secret: the rendering in Pixtube Player is actually a generation ahead, with more accurate CRT

I love this CRT shader!! Here's Sola, my oc! @komm64 #crt #furryart #furry #moots #artmootsㅤ
