Hear me out: I feel like it’s only now where we have colour bit depth back (after decades of 24bit+8bit alpha when we started with 32bit) and OLEDs with per-pixel light emission that we can for the first time since they were made actually display the pixels as intended, and it’s also the first time we can create pixel art that is a real level up from the old pixel art.
My mind is bursting with 12-bit per channel colours, retina-level bloom created in shaders, with sharp edges where the artist wants them.
- lupire 5y ago12 bit color is only really useful for HDR hinting tricks to make images pop next to non-HDR images/frames. When your image is full screen you don't need it.
- kibwen 5y agoWho has color bit depth back? Aren't modern mainstream computer, phone, and TV displays all still 24-bit?
- joshspankit 5y agoWe just recently got the tech for it: graphic cards, operating systems, display tech, and displays that support it. “10 bit” is 30 bit: 10 bits each for red, green, and blue. “12 bit” is 36 bit colour. Xbox One does 10bit, Dolby Vision is a 12bit spec, and so-on.
