BT81X Bilinear filtering make dark border on bitmaps

[ddv2005]

Hello,

I have found that each bitmap in bilinear filtering mode has dark border. On attached picture left image rendered in NEAREST filtering mode and no dark borders. Right image the same but in BILINEAR mode and you can see grey border.
As I understand BT81X just mix black color at the edges that absolutely weird and unacceptable.
Is it any way to do not mix black color at edges in bilinear filtering mode?

Hello,

Thank you for your question.
Could you give me details on how you have converted the bitmaps you are using with Bilinear filtering, so I can investigate this issue further?

Hello,

Images converted by EAB tool from png to ASTC 4x4/8x8 without any scale.  Bilinear filtering is used to scale and render the image by BT81X. This is my test code to render image form Screen Editor:

Code Select Expand

CMD_SETBITMAP(0, COMPRESSED_RGBA_ASTC_4x4_KHR, 240, 240)
BITMAP_SIZE(BILINEAR, BORDER, BORDER, 240, 240)
CMD_LOADIDENTITY()
CMD_SCALE(196608, 196608)
CMD_TRANSLATE(1769472, 0)
CMD_SETMATRIX()
BEGIN(BITMAPS)
VERTEX2II(40, 0, 0, 0)


Also I make a test project in Screen Editor to reproduce the issue. White square PNG 64x64 loaded at 0 address and displayed by code:

Code Select Expand

CLEAR_COLOR_RGB(255,0, 0)
CLEAR(1, 1, 1)
CMD_SETBITMAP(0, COMPRESSED_RGBA_ASTC_4x4_KHR, 64, 64)
BITMAP_SIZE(NEAREST, BORDER, BORDER, 240, 240)
CMD_LOADIDENTITY()
CMD_SCALE(196608, 196608)
CMD_TRANSLATE(196608, 131072)
CMD_SETMATRIX()
BEGIN(BITMAPS)
VERTEX2II(40, 0, 0, 0)

In NEAREST mode everything good (see first attachment). But in BILINEAR mode you can see dark borders around white box (second attachment)

I found some workaround for my case: expand tiles by 1 pixel in each side (to make tiles overlap by 1 pixel) and then cut blended BILINEAR dark borders by ALPHA_FUNC(GEQUAL, 248). Now it looks much better.
bf_new_cut.jpg is final image and bf_new_no_cut.jpg is overlapped images but no ALPHA_FUNC to cut borders.

Hello,

Thank you for the details.
I'm glad you work around is producing much better results currently, I am in discussion with the development team to see if they have any other suggestions for mitigating this behaviour.

Hello,

The developers have noted that every bitmap in BORDER mode has a black border. It's not normally visible, but in bilinear at the edges, the black border pixels get sampled and used. We are looking into modes for future revisions of EVE to mitigate this behaviour, but currently there is the expected behaviour for EVE.
