Hi, I have seen a realy cool effekt or Shader in the Game Darwinia, on the 3Dmodels so they look like a Sprite, so on the hole model are little sprites, you can only see the trick by zoom in ^^. I like this Idea an want to ask here how can I make it on my models? Some ideas?

Here is an idea how you could do this in gamestudio:

Create a 2nd view below the camera (layer = -1), make it smaller than the camera (depending on how pixelated you want the entities). Make the 2nd view not render entities with flag1 set (there is a flag in the viewfor that..). Set all the normal (non-pixelated) entities flag1, so they will not be rendered in the 2nd view.

Now you have one normal view (the camera), and a small view with the (not yet) pixelated entities. Now you use the 2nd views .bmap (pro feature) as the skin of a view entity that is above the camera. Give the view entity a material that renders it using a point sampler and makes all the parts where it is black (because nothing was rendered there), transparent.

No, I'm sorry I don't have time for that. If you tell me what steps you don't understand I'll try to help you with it.

well, there is also the render to view dll, but basically what hes saying is make a second view that only renders those objects, take a "low-res screenshot" and lay that over the view scaled to size over the visible view, the scale will make it pixelated
