Allas #1 Posted August 21, 2006 What a beatiful graphics... im not sure how was made.... I think its a mixture of gr.9 + gr.11, isnt it? Why the interlaced lines? Kaleidoskop Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heaven/TQA #2 Posted August 21, 2006 simple gr.9/11 "trick"... odd lines gr.9/even lines gr.11... thats all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allas #3 Posted August 21, 2006 In the emulator I cant apreciatte this. Maybe... are the lines mixed or my vision fails? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heaven/TQA #4 Posted August 21, 2006 no...its simple APAC mode... to get 256 colours. your eye is mixing these two lines together. even better on TV set... but he is not using interlace. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pseudografx #5 Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) no...its simple APAC mode... to get 256 colours. your eye is mixing these two lines together. even better on TV set... but he is not using interlace. I doubt it's my eyes actually. When I zoom the image in a graphics program, I can physically count more than 16 colours per line. It is like the hues in odd lines influence the luminances in even lines. Is this just a trick that the Atari engineers wanted to allow? Or is it the emulator that recognizes this mode and renders it to look better on a PC monitor? Edited August 21, 2006 by pseudografx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rybags #6 Posted August 21, 2006 The emulator recognises the mode although it has a bug which causes the effect in circumstances where it shouldn't happen as well. You get it on TVs probably because the colour information bleeds into the scanlines which are luminance only - best effect is to interlace but that generates some flicker and uses double the memory.
