Floor corner demonstration of Retro Surface. A Makkon floor and wall texture are used, and the camera is at a grazing angle to demonstrate that shimmer is mitigated and anisotropic filtering still works, which it typically would not with point filtering. The scene is with dark teal lighting, and dark carved stone and tile surfaces.
An outdoor air conditioning unit rendered using Unreal 5 and the Retro Surface material. Point filtered details are preserved without Moire patterns forming in the distance.
A calvin and hobbs comic in which calvin is asked if he plays house, at which point the house becomes this large sprawling nightmare. Doctor House appears and says 'hi, i'm house. you have lupus btw'. Calvin runs down the scares terrified, with a crudely edited speech bubble saying "holy shit, it's house md!". the final frame is an overhead view of the house with a speech bubble that says "holy shit I love that show"
Unreal editor screenshot of pixelated textures at a grazing angle that doesn't turn into a shimmery mess at distance. The normal maps are also pixelated. The textures themselves are dark stone bricks.
Vesper walks through a gothic hallway with rain in the background.
A woman with round eyeglasses and green hair looks intently past the lower left third of the image. The image is a screenshot from an Unreal Engine project, using retro aesthetics (primarily low poly counts and point filtered textures)
The entrance to the lower area of e1m4 in Vesper. A cliff face is shown with point filtering up close but blends into anisotropic bilinear filtering over distance and grazing angle.
