Sort of curious about something. We’ve been seeing all of these cool shaders approximate old CRT displays by adding scanlines, distortions, etc. But did anyone ever write a CRT *simulator*? Like actually simulating the electron gun running and hitting the mask etc.?
This would be sort of an equivalent of raytracing or doing emulation via FPGA. It would definitely be a lot more costly, of course, but I’m curious if we have enough performance already and whether the results would be interesting.
@noiob Quite a few reasons: https://blurbusters.com/crt-simulation-in-a-gpu-shader-looks-better-than-bfi/
