00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,120
whether it's water or your gaming experience filtering can enhance it and

2
00:00:04,279 --> 00:00:09,960
make it better we're going to be talking about bilinear trilinear and an

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:14,719
isotropic filtering options for improving texture appearance in games as

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:19,199
fast as possible many surfaces in games are covered in what are called textures

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:22,680
this is what avoids that effect where you just have like a flat surface with a

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,439
bunch of red squares on it being called a brick wall this is what makes them

7
00:00:24,599 --> 00:00:29,960
actually look realistic but the problem with textures is that if you don't apply

8
00:00:28,599 --> 00:00:33,600
any kind of filtering to them whatso ever you'll usually end up in a

9
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:37,719
situation where what's up close to the player character or the camera looks

10
00:00:35,239 --> 00:00:42,879
great and what's a little ways off looks absolutely terrible and a sharply

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:47,840
defined line between great and terrible bilinear and trilinear filtering aim to

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:51,600
reduce the visibility of that line so when you're walking down a gravel path

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:55,960
or next to a brick wall with a repeating pattern it's not noticeable that oh hey

14
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:59,399
I'm in a game because I can tell right there it looks bad and right there it

15
00:00:57,239 --> 00:01:03,800
looks good an isotropic filtering is more advanced than bilinear and

16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:08,159
trilinear and seeks to reduce jaggies within the textures themselves or

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:12,720
aliasing and make them appear much higher quality especially when viewed at

18
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:16,080
extreme angles so in this example on the left it looks terrible past the

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,840
immediate vicinity of the plane that is presumably coming down on the runway

20
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:24,439
whereas on the right with an isotropic filtering enabled it looks great even

21
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:28,200
further on into the distance or at least much better compared to other visual

22
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:32,280
quality improvement techniques texture filtering is relatively non demanding on

23
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:36,479
your gaming hardware and many games these days even come with it enabled by

24
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:42,079
default so remember guys enable texture filtering on your games for the

25
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:48,000
