P3D renders edges blurryly

[F53]

P2D and the default renderer give me the same crisp not blurry results as each other. But both suffer severe frame loss when pipes are displayed on screen.

P3D, (which I was at the time calling as fullscreen(OPENGL)) never drops a frame below 60 even on Android
Because of this I have been using P3D for a 2D sketch, not changing anything other than the declaration of the renderer used.

A side effect of using P3D, is that it makes the edges of lines blurry.

What I am trying to do is get rid of the blur introduced by P3D.

This is the rendering with P3D enabled
This is the rendering with the default renderer

The Screenshots dull the effect somehow, it’s much worse in real life
(tested on multiple monitors)

[rufsketch1]

Could you post screenshots of the differences between the two for comparison?

[F53]

I am recreating Flappy Bird, so the lines are supposed to be very hard.
While I know openGL is for 3D applications, it handles drawing images so much better than P2D it doubles my framerate when many images are visible.

This is the rendering with openGL
This is the rendering without openGL enabled.

Possibly try initializing the sketch with

hint(DISABLE_TEXTURE_MIPMAPS);
 ((PGraphicsOpenGL)g).textureSampling(2);

Alternatively, you might try increasing/decreasing the size of whatever surface you’re rendering on by some small amount.

What does that mean? What renderer are you using? P2D is not the default, it’s a 2D OpenGL renderer. P3D is the 3D OpenGL renderer.

err, did you try noSmooth(); ?

Chrisir

[F53]

Yes, I forgot to write that down

[Chrisir]

Did you try FX2D ?

FX2D noSmooth(), textureSampling?

The performance boost from FX2D is really nice, however I can’t seem to be able to turn off the smoothing. noSmooth() doesn’t work, before or after calling size(), in settings() or setup(); It doesn’t appear ((PGraphicsOpenGL)g).textureSampling(2); can be used with FX2D, as PGraphicsFX2D can’t be cast to PGraphicsOpenGL PSurfaceFX has setSmooth but I can’t figure out how to test it.

[F53]

Interesting, I just did and it gives me the same frames as OPENGL, with the same issue with blurry lines.

I will look into the provided solution in your link.

[F53]

SOLUTION:
a. if you are just switching to OPENGL/P3D for FPS, use this solution from rufsketch 1 in your main to get back your hard lines

@rufsketch1

hint(DISABLE_TEXTURE_MIPMAPS); ((PGraphicsOpenGL)g).textureSampling(2);

b. if you need to have edges not blurry in FX2D,

• I don’t know what to do for you, but you can put research into the link given by Chrisir
  > FX2D noSmooth(), textureSampling?
• You could also look into using a sharpening filter, while I abandoned this idea, this may be helpful, as I got quite a lot of resources together about it:

and you not even say THANK YOU? or LIKE? or Solution?
to him.

[rufsketch1]

Haha. No big deal. At least his additional solution also includes info for FX2D.

I’m sorry, completely forgot to credit you.
