RetroRaster [For Roblox]

REAL-TIME PIXEL FILTER

Welcome to RetroRaster, the real-time pixelated graphics effect for Roblox!

RetroRaster is a super optimised real-time multi-threaded textured ray tracer for Roblox.  Many rendering tricks and opimisations has been made that make RetroRaster perform well above 60 FPS on a mid-range computer at 100x100.

RetroRaster aims to accurately pixelate a Roblox scene, with textures, skyboxes and all.

RetroRaster is perfect for any Roblox game or project that wishes to achieve a retro or pixelated style!

FEATURES

• Many rendering and optimisation settings to alter for your needs
• Runtime settings adjustments
• Sphere projected skyboxes
• Texturing
• Reflections
• Transparency
• Shading and fog
• Support for Lighting (TimeOfDay)
• Motion blur (Also used to hide artefacts)

INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE

The original goal with RetroRaster was to get above 60 FPS at 100x100.

After months of researching, testing algorithms, and ideas to get RetroRaster running as fast as possible. Also maintaining a high fidelity image with a great refresh rate without large artefacts.

On a basic non-optimised roblox raytracer will only get as high as 15 FPS at 100x100, which was on my powerful PC. 

With RetroRaster, you can achieve framerates as high as 120 to even as high as 200+ FPS at 100x100 depending on the complexity of your game, your device and your render settings.

This is an innovative new rendering engine and the first of it's kind with these capabilities for Roblox.

NOTE: Please be aware that RetroRaster will have limited use on certain meshes with textures, as this uses part collisions for the rendering output.

If you wish to give feedback, suggest features or changes, I recommend sending them to the official roblox dev forum thread for RetroRaster which you can find here.

Please note; this feature is currently in beta and only available for Roblox Studio. This will not work in-game on the Roblox client until the EditableImage and EditableMesh studio beta is release.
