Pete's new filtering mode

[kairi00]

First, thanks to Bobbi for fixing attachments.. yay!! :)

And then thanks Pete for the new plugins... yayy!! :)

And now on to the screens.

Good ol' "2 - Extended filtering" (glitchy text boxes)

[kairi00]

Option "4 - Extended filtering w/o sprites"

[kairi00]

The new filtering option.... as you can see, the quality is better than the old option 4, but less aggressive than option 2... it's pretty sweet :)

Here is one shot of FF9 using petes new filtering with sprite smoothing at 640x480 with 4xFSAA enabled.. Petes d3d..

Indeed....check out the steps in the FF8 images with the new filtering compared to old...nice job Pete..

Wow, that new option does look nice! Too bad I have no time to try it out. :(

I'm curious...just how exactly are you filtering the sprites?

[FireGL]

the new function of petes gpu plugin supports 2 new filtering mode

[KojiroTakenashi]

;)
I meant that as a tech question to pete, if he's out there. I'd like to know just how the sprites are getting filtered.

i'm just wandering but regarding your question ( KojiroTakenashi), this new filtering modes were just a question of time, till someone remenbered that snes9x does that with openGL estension...and we all know that snes games rarely have 3d graphics (it's all done with sprites).
So i'm guessing that the sprites smothing is done the same way (more or less) as the snes9x estensions, if not....well that was a good idea, right? (it would cut some time to pete if he got borrowed that part of the snes9x source from the author) ;)

[KojiroTakenashi]

Ah. I simply wanted to know, because perhaps then an idea I had could someday be implemented.

[Xeven]

Hey, the new filtering looks real good! :)

[GEO]

KojiroTakenashi, could you share that idea with us, please ???

[KojiroTakenashi]

If a code similar to the SuperEagle engine, or maybe the engine itself, could be applied to sprites and text.
What's odd about this mode, though, is that alot of FF4 seems to be completely unfiltered or smoothed with the new option.

I think pete recently said that super eagle & SAIx2 I might look like crap if implimented in his plugin. but that was before the new sprite filtering option...so it might be possible.

he's plugins jus keep getting better
