I made a pixel art upscaling/rotation algorithm called cleanEdge! It makes rotating pixel art as clean as possible
torcado.com/cleanEdge
I made a tool for it too! drop your sprites in and get some nice rotated or upscaled versions :)

A new look for the game thanks to @torcado.com's awesome cleanEdge shader! I think this comes closer to the Wind Waker aesthetic I was emulating in pixels!
Also, there should be some fun news regarding the game soon 👀

Do you use #Pixelorama and find the lack of easy rotation and skewing of selections annoying?
✨Transforming selections right on the canvas is coming in the next update!
🎯Pick your algorithm: Nearest Neighbor, CleanEdge, or OmniScale!

I've just pushed a small change to cleanEdge that better handles a specific edge case, and a change to the web tool to fix some minor stray pixels in some cases.
here's some before and after comparisons :)

yeah, bluesky's compression is really frustrating. if you fullscreen the video, it should switch to 720p after a few seconds.

In DSprite, application icons are made easy having the option to export multisize .ico files straight from DSprite
Additionally, you can decide whether you want your pixel art clarity, or a smoothed out cleanEdge processed output.

in this case, cleanEdge makes it look quite good, but it's a subtle difference

this looks great :)
I wrote a pixel upscaling algorithm a while ago that you might be interested in, it's structurally similar to xBRZ but it's resolution-agnostic, so it may be nice for 3D depending on what looking for:
torcado.com/cleanEdge
(godot implementation: gist.github.com/torcado194/e... )

it's hard to create an animated comparison. here's a comparison of two still frames at arbitrary angles.
they're similar, cleanEdge tends to preserve outlines better

I tried @torcado.com CleanEdge shader in #Godot
Seems it indeed make the rotated line more clean.
Can be used to make a Pixel-Perfect game with item's rotation.
Tested under viewport mode, with SimilarThreshold set to 1

nope! its a bespoke algorithm. you can read about it here: torcado.com/blog/cleanEdge

little experiment using torcado.com/cleanEdge/
left: upscaled small sprite x2, medium sprite x2
right: upscaled small sprite x4
i didn't notice the subtle differences while doing this before, and it's interesting. i can crop sections and patch them together before doing hand edits

the shader doesnt scale anything at all, actually. it's simply rendering extra data between the source texels
you can read a bit more about how it works here: torcado.com/blog/cleanEdge
essentially it expands the diagonals between pixels into neighbors based on what it believes are connected shapes
