@ID_AA_Carmack @CommotionTheory @ID_AA_Carmack for an 8K image, one can choose to 1) first downsample to 5K first, then render on vr (resampled again), or 2) directly 8K image directly on vr. Do you think Option 2 may deliver more details? // I own visbit's rendering tech.

@ID_AA_Carmack @CommotionTheory If prefilter 8k to 5k, we will actually do sampling twice (prefiltering + rendering), which is not good. On gearvr+s9 or vive focus, the difference between 5k and 8k is pretty obvious as i can see. On Go, the improvement is less, especially when strong door effect presents.
