Banding in Games: A Noisy Rant [pdf]
- reificator 7y agoDefinitely an interesting read, but I was expecting Benalish Hero and Mesa Pegasus instead. https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Banding https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Banding
- s_Hogg 7y agoHear, hear. There's a reason newer edition cards don't feature that ability. It's incredibly annoying.
- thom 7y agoOccasionally these really old cards feature in draft formats on Magic Online and it’s very satisfying to completely wreck the uninitiated.
- empath75 7y agolol came here to say this.
- ivanmilles 7y agoPlaydead spat out a series of incredible GDC talks after their game INSIDE. They did a full presentation on the ending of the game [0] as a collab between engineering, rendering and art. It’s fascinating just to see the creativity, but also a teaching moment on striking the balance between tight, accurate engineering and enough hack&mirrors to pass inspection.

Reading this devlog is giving me goosebumps. I finished the game a couple days ago. To know he made this entire thing (music included).. mindblowing
- anotheryou 7y agoOnly some scenic drawings where commissioned I think, yea. Super impressive. I'm glad "Papers Please" seems to have been enough of a hit to enable him to build this.
- theandrewbailey 7y agoYes! I remember thinking the same thing about those Skyrim loading screens: 'My GPU and monitor can output millions of colors, and my monitor only has about 2 million pixels. Why do these look so bad?[0]' I've always wondered if dithering would help, and how it would be implemented. [0] Bethesda's broken engine notwithstanding.
- Sharlin 7y agoIt's interesting how we thought banding was a solved problem back when we moved from 16-bit to 24-bit color. And it was, for a while!
