Texture Filtering - Advanced Graphics Settings - GameMaker Tutorial

Often when you draw an image scaled up or down, you don't want to see it blurred as it's resized - but not always. Here's an explanation of texture filtering in GameMaker, also sometimes known as "texture interpolation!"

This is going to be pretty relevant in next week's shader video, as we'll be using texture filtering to achieve a smoother effect than otherwise could be using blocky pixels.

Worth noting: this setting is normally off by default in Windows, but on Ubuntu (and by extension, other Linux platforms, such as the Raspberry Pi) it's turned on; the first time you run your game on Linux, you might find that the textures are rather blurry from scaling unless you turn this off.
