Texture resizing and you

[Rowsol]

I'd like to know what people think of texture resizing and whether or not you use it. Vote at the poll! The reason I ask is because on more than one occasion I've been told they like the pixelated look.

Me, I use the highest available, hq4x, and it brz was in, I'd use that instead.

edit: I'm referring to what Gzdoom calls "High Quality Resize Mode"

I can't use a very high one, as my PC will start lagging at bigger maps. However, I use Texture-Rezising and SCALE2X HQ-Resize-Mode.

Have you tried none on textures and something like 4x on sprites? I assume you have, but I ask because I find the textures one to be a lot less useful than sprites.

I have no idea what that is, a mapping thing?

No, because 1. my GPU isn't dedicated/offboard and the computer RAM is shared with it and 2. I think the texture resizing modes look ugly on 3D games. They only look good in 2D games IMO.

The sprites ARE 2d... lol. But I respect your opinion.

Texture "resizing" is just about the ugliest thing I could possibly do; no computerized algorithm is ever going to be a substitute for someone touching up the textures manually, and it ultimately winds up rounding off the wrong corners and making things look ugly and soupy.

A total waste of perfectly good video RAM.

I'm not talking about the sprites, I'm talking about the perspective and amount of dimensions of movement in the game. Yeah, sure, the sprites are 2D, but the level geometry definitely isn't :v

I have tried around a lot with it. However, I wouldn't say texture resizing doesn't make a difference:
No Resizing
With SCALE2X
I personally prefer the second one. Yes, it might be minor, but still.

Noted. I find the doors most affected (the x shape).

Whats wrong with it?

Its sharp, it has much less aliasing.

I dont understand the complains here, because HQx4 does its job absolutely awesome..

I feel like all that really manages to do is ruin the diagonal lines on that particular texture.

Thats strange. I dont experience that blur. Look my screenshot of my previous post..

Unscaled looks better.
