I'm a graphics coder, OpenGL, Vulkan, even did some D3D. I was simplifying a bit. What do you think I got wrong?

I've never noticed the effects of bilinear filtering, or a lack of filtering for that matter & it would stick out like a sore thumb if it was a the case & a lot of people would be bickering about it.

Take a look at this screenshot - especially the upper back of the characters. Do you see a grid of squares, each a single solid color? (yes there is some lighting variation so they're not exactly the same RGB value, but surely you can see the blockiness?). [/quote]

As I was explaining, it's a trivial change to add an option (if they've coded it well - if every different texture shader has nearest (blocky) filtering manually set then it might require a little bit of find and replace).

Here[www.khronos.org] is the filtering variable I'm talking about for Vulkan, which resides in the VkSamplerCreateInfo structure.
