What gives? Surely we have the proper tech by now

it isnt worth the frames
Kayden Morgan
Because everything is made out of triangles.
Isaac Garcia
the problem is square pixels OP
Anthony Rodriguez
A random manhole is usually not important enough to need definition, if you look at it under normal contexts and go "roundish tube", that's all the developers need to do
only if you are truly focusing on an object od you need to put in extra effort to make something round.
For instance, in a kirby game, since kirby's round and the typical point of your focus, they really make him round by adding more geometry.
polygonal 3d is just drawing a bunch of straight lines to make a shape, so you can never have a truly round object with polygonal 3d.
Anything else would have to do too many on the fly computations, which isn't impossible, but it's usually just not worth the processing time or dev time to implement.
Robert Morris
What if we round pixels instead?
Lucas Sanchez
now you can't render a straight line
nice going
Matthew Thomas
I want to see you make a perfect circular well out of stone, OP.
Christopher Ramirez
No bully.
Jonathan Cooper
I'd rather fake a straight line with circles rather than fake circles with straight lines
Luis Morris
waka fuck you say about me?
Leo Martin
consider hexagon pixels
Jayden Kelly
That looks awful without tessellation.
Benjamin Butler
Imagine being so autistic you care about insignificant lines that you barely even noticed. Jesus christ do you complain about lines on sidewalks not being up to your autistic standards?
Elijah Young
Anyone else getting bored of real looking games, I dunno it's just that the more real it is the less I wanna play and just do something in real life. There's just no magic.

You realize wells arent proper round circles dipshit

Owen Reed
Are you retarded, dude?
Joseph White
Not possible because each PIXEL is a circle. That is a circle that you then turn into a line by extending one side of the circle a distance.
If each pixel is a circle, a straight line is just a series of circles with gaps at the top and bottom between each.

>shadowmask still can't render straight objects
Dylan Foster
Maybe that's the solution. Having overlapping pixels, that way you can overlap circles into a line. Damn, I'm a genius
Adrian Hall
Wait a second, I'm going back into gimp.
David Sanchez
err nvm, it didn't work out very well. If they overlap, you block part of the colors of the one behind
Carson Miller
A singular pixel can only be one color.
Grayson Taylor
Didn't Quake 3 have some perfectly smooth curves? Something about rendering parameterized surfaces (Bezier curves?) directly instead of polygons.
Basically your answer is no one is going to bother with that shit unless they're Carmack but I think it's technically possible
Aaron Turner
A single RGB pixel (the standard in monitors) is the three lights combined to form one color.
Jason Allen
>he isn't an aperture chad
Kayden King
Might as well throw a google image with it.
David Gonzalez
A crt's shadowmask is basically an aperture in the first place. What are you on about?
Sebastian Gomez
They are indeed both becoming shittier and shittier with each passing year.
Owen Moore
Aperture grille is different from shadow mask.
