How to achieve a "retro", pixelated visual effect

[Quippier (babyconsumer9000)]

This is going to be very useful for my 2007 styled horror game! Here’s a preview before I add this in! I just hope it works with my grain effect…

Holy cow! This is revolutionary! I’m sure a lot of developers are gonna use this mechanic to replicate pixelated games!

Sadly, Roblox might fix this in the future.

I don’t know if roblox has changed how view ports work, but it appears that if you want pixelation from the Viewport frames, you will have to accept a lot of blur.

But not to worry! I found an alternative way to pixelate your screen:

Pixelated Roblox Part 4!

Alright I would like to preface this post with the link to a previous one on the same subject. So, here’s why another forum post is absolutely essential, I have made an incredible breakthrough that has increased rendering performance by up to 10 times!!! Here is the current version and a video and pic of it’s capabilities in action with MANY rendering techniques used to create both pixelation, and realism.

I want to make a pixelated full-screen isometric-style game, so I decided to use this and so far, it doesn’t pixelated because it doesn’t seem to actually be getting set to the camera’s position

So I tried putting the SurfaceGui in the StarterGui while having the adornee set to the part. No luck.

Can you help?
Thanks.

note: I tried the method mentioned above, but I wanted a full screen pixelation.

Edit: fixed now

I have now uncopylocked Retro Fights on the Heights! Although some elements were broken due to updates, the effect still works. If you use this, credit is appreciated, but not needed

How did you get pixelation effect?.. its blrury for me.

I don’t know if roblox has changed how view ports work, but it appears that if you want pixelation from the Viewport frames, you will have to accept a lot of blur.

If you are using viewport frames for this effect, you will get blur as I mentioned here. This pixelation effect that I showed uses raytracing with a lot of frames as pixels.

Wait so you need a rtx card for this to work?

[Ethanthegrand14 (Ethanthegrand)]

No. Currently the roblox engine doesn’t allow you to access the GPU for scripts. This is all CPU processing in a local script in a GUI

I been trying to get something like this for awhile how do i get it to work?

[Ethanthegrand14 (Ethanthegrand)]

Read the thread about the Pixelator that I provied. It should tell you all about it

[ThatLazyBucket (Just Bucket)]

Do you think you can make the place downloadable for one second so i can get it?

If not it’s fine

[Ethanthegrand14 (Ethanthegrand)]

You can already access the place. It’s uncopylocked

[ThatLazyBucket (Just Bucket)]

What is it? Can you provide the link?

[Ethanthegrand14 (Ethanthegrand)]

look on the thread that I have provided. Everything about it is there

[ThatLazyBucket (Just Bucket)]

Lol okay sorry for wasting your time

[ThatLazyBucket (Just Bucket)]

If only roblox made their own pixel processing effect

[ThatLazyBucket (Just Bucket)]

Its good but it causes lag which is why roblox need to create their own lol
