This is Pixel, my Porygon2. She gets really excited when touching carpet - like hilariously so. I always figured it was because real life textures are kinda new and exciting for a digital creature. @realpokemon

I've shared a few pretty straightforward images using my CRT effect, but not much yet that really shows off what an over-engineered monstrosity I've created.
For a start, it's actually 3D. I built most of this in Blender.
Except for the optional bit that simulates composite video artifacts. I wrote that part in shader code and apply it to the base image as a separate step.
I made a high-res shadow mask texture, so it looks pretty good even from absurdly close up.
I can also adjust the scanline hardness and swap the slot mask for a dot mask or aperture grille to simulate different types of display.
Raytracing the whole thing ensures that all of these little details look nice and get sampled correctly, and if I want to change the glare reflecting off of the screen...
...I can adjust it by rearranging the furniture in the room.
So... yeah. That's what is current going on whenever I post pixel art with my CRT effect. It's not quite perfect yet, but I think it's getting pretty good.
