   @alter_kaker With a fine, significant detail like the eye, I’d be tempted to render it separately and directly manage its size.

   If it’s specifically dots and borders you’re looking to preserve, you could also try an approach where you sample several pixels and take the one with the minimum brightness.

     @inthehands right. The article I linked above seems to use boundaries, where neighboring pixel values are significantly different

     I don’t think it does? Unless I miss something, it just blurs •all• of the pixel boundaries, regardless of how different the colors are.

     Thinking about it more, I like my “separate eye rendering” idea. With eyes in particular, you probably want a special case that can prioritize keeping them as two distinct dots — min size 1px, min gap 1px — until they’re at an extreme distance, even if that means making them much proportionally larger on the face.

     But that’s fine-tuning; your “fix it later” instinct is surely the correct one. Figure out what the game is, and visual details can wait.
