Tunderstandable. you may be able to set the filtering mode before rendering
Tor just clone silky.nvg and modify it to your needs
ROr you could just not use it for images like this
FFound soulution fir Unity, and it said - use custom shader some kind of “alpha-cut off” for displaying UI, similar like shaders for transparent hairs. But this it too complicated, for person who barely knows how to load image 
Talpha cut-off is absolutely not what you want lol
RYou just want a quad
RA textured quad
Ti'm surprised nvg doesn't have a way to change texture filtering mode :/
FJust for “science” - Silky.Nvg is a wrpapper? Not real library? I cant modify how things rendered? For example add some effects using shaders from examples.
Tit is a implementation in c#, you can modify it however you like
Toh would you look at thats, ImageFlags has a
Nearest flagTso images are linear-filtered by default
Tmaybe you should try generating mipmaps or just make those images smaller
FThanks, flags have no visual effect. Maybe I use it in wrong way. I set flag once when image loaded from path.
Ti don't think the filtering mode would help you when the image is being scaled 10 to 1
Tor the filtering mode is setup to not scale when going down, only when scaling up
Lyou can also scale down the image in a photo editor to a reasonable size
FRepeated my experiment with fresh head, and this works:
Image has dark border, but not pixelated.
nvg.CreateImage(Src, ImageFlags.GenerateMimpas);Image has dark border, but not pixelated.
Llooks like a classic computer color is broken moment

FSo much science just to display picture 
FI tested with Photoshop, resized image to 100px - and pixelated effect gone.
Image displayed ok with default "0" flag. So it was just an issue with image loading.
For the average user this is out of logic, we're expecting bigger images will look better.

Ayou often have mixed results scaling down large images.
if you use linear interpolation with mipmapping though it can look pretty damn good
if you use linear interpolation with mipmapping though it can look pretty damn good
Abut if you're using point interpolation with no mipmaps then it's gonna look pretty garbage
FWhat type of "interpolation" should I choose for 2d textures? Image editors have multiple options, never thought they are important.
Tgpus are not good at filtering
Tthat's why mipmaps exist
Abilinear is normally decent enough.
if you're using a image editor then cubic interpolation is the one I'd suggest
if you're using a image editor then cubic interpolation is the one I'd suggest
Tmost image editors just have a "best quality" option
Areally? both the ones I use allow you to specify the exact interpolation type to use
Tby "just" i didn't mean only one :)
Aah
Tpaint.net is pretty good
Athe heck is fant lmao
Tsome cursed box filter apparently
Tused by windows imaging component and WPF. it's pretty bad compared to most methods
Afant more like pants
please tell me pants is not another thing only us brits use
TAclearly this term has not escaped the land of the rain
FYes, I often use it, because it is light and fast, especially on laptop.
Hquestion about textures, should i store it as bytes only in the finished builds for my game(s)? or store it as the original format?
Adepends what you want. storing it as bytes only will decrease the loading times but will largely increase the overall size.
it's part of the reason a lot of games use DDS - decently small size, but doesn't take much to process since a lot of the decompression happens on the GPU.
personally if it's a small game I'd just recommend leaving it in the original format, unless all your textures are uncompressed anyway at which point yeah you might as well just store them as raw bytes

KWhat does raw bytes mean? Straight RGBA8? Depending on the tech you're using I'd convert to some semi-compressed format that 90%+ of your target devices can load to GPU directly, with a software fallback ofc.
RI would move to something like QOI with zstd compression.
RFast decompression times, speed of parsing, and fast asset loading, and low storage size being a huge deal for those folks still with an HDD, and will make fetching off the disk significantly faster
RWhich would actually decrease loading times for those with slow disks
RYou could go full for lack of a more professional term "balls to the walls" and create a glorified zip package, or virtual filesystem to minimize wasted space and ensure the maximum possible contiguous data storage. Leading to potentially a slightly smaller game and potentially being faster to load at the cost of not being as easy to edit and modify and being hidden away from users
KKhronos has standards for this
KThey are great
KI keep forgetting what it's called
