00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.120
whether it's water or your gaming experience filtering can enhance it and

00:00:04.279 --> 00:00:09.960
make it better we're going to be talking about bilinear trilinear and an

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:14.719
isotropic filtering options for improving texture appearance in games as

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:19.199
fast as possible many surfaces in games are covered in what are called textures

00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:22.680
this is what avoids that effect where you just have like a flat surface with a

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:26.439
bunch of red squares on it being called a brick wall this is what makes them

00:00:24.599 --> 00:00:29.960
actually look realistic but the problem with textures is that if you don't apply

00:00:28.599 --> 00:00:33.600
any kind of filtering to them whatso ever you'll usually end up in a

00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:37.719
situation where what's up close to the player character or the camera looks

00:00:35.239 --> 00:00:42.879
great and what's a little ways off looks absolutely terrible and a sharply

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:47.840
defined line between great and terrible bilinear and trilinear filtering aim to

00:00:45.800 --> 00:00:51.600
reduce the visibility of that line so when you're walking down a gravel path

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

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

00:00:57.239 --> 00:01:03.800
looks good an isotropic filtering is more advanced than bilinear and

00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:08.159
trilinear and seeks to reduce jaggies within the textures themselves or

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:12.720
aliasing and make them appear much higher quality especially when viewed at

00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:16.080
extreme angles so in this example on the left it looks terrible past the

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.840
immediate vicinity of the plane that is presumably coming down on the runway

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:24.439
whereas on the right with an isotropic filtering enabled it looks great even

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:28.200
further on into the distance or at least much better compared to other visual

00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:32.280
quality improvement techniques texture filtering is relatively non demanding on

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:36.479
your gaming hardware and many games these days even come with it enabled by

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:42.079
default so remember guys enable texture filtering on your games for the

00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:48.000
best possible experience share this Techquickie like the video and as always
