Texel Splatting: Perspective-Stable 3D Pixel Art

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.14587v1 Announce Type: new Rendering 3D scenes as pixel art requires that discrete pixels remain stable as the camera moves. Existing methods snap the camera to a grid. Under orthographic projection, this works: every pixel shifts by the same amount, and a single snap corrects all of them. Perspective breaks this. Pixels at different depths drift at different rates, and no single snap corrects all depths. Texel splatting avoids this entirely. Scene geometry is rendered into a cubemap from a fixed point in the world, and each texel is splatted to the screen as a world-space quad.
