This is literally the bane of any low-resolution-texture aficionado. Any way to turn it off?

Not currently, bilinear is always used.

Not at the moment, bilinear interpolation is always used. Indeed, it would be quite easy to add as an option but it has never be done until now.

Where is that located in the code?

PS: Dade, were you notified of this quote?

I've seen that post. I think no interpolation really needs to be added as an option. For now, the only way to get blocky pixels is to pre-scale the textures.

The code for image maps bi-linear interpolation is here: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCor ... p.cpp#L345

But, as usual, the hard part is not the C++ code but the OpenCL one.

Can someone, perhaps, explain what, exactly, it is doing? I don't quite understand the inputs and outputs, and it doesn't help that I am more familiar with C than C++.

It maps UV coordinates to 4 texels in the image texture and performs bilinear filtering on those 4 texels.
It returns the resulting color (basically a weighted mix between the 4 texels).
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilinear_filtering

I think if you want to implement a method without bilinear filtering, you would just evaluate one texel at the UV location and return its color.
