- enriquto 6y agoNot really, why? An interpolated rasterization is a just a particular case of vector graphics representation. As long as the represented objects fit well in the rasterized distance field (of a fixed resolution), you can sample the level curve to an arbitrarily high resolution, just like any other kind of vector graphics.
- gugagore 6y agoYou can do that in the same way that you can upscale a raster image to arbitrarily high resolutions by interpolating. In my mind, it's not just that you can zoom into vector graphics without seeing pixels. It's also that you can make small adjustments to the input parameters. If you're talking about sampling a grid at resolutions on the order of ~floating point epsilon (seems akin to using fixed-point numbers for parameters), then I guess you have a point.
