Achieving Artifact Free Pixel Art Rendering

In this episode, we explore a subject that was only tangentially related to my game project: rendering pixel art with antialiasing. Applications for this technique range from antialiasing for pixelart textures in lowpoly games like Minecraft, to games that primarily feature pixel art sprites in 3D environments, like Octopath Traveler.
