So, as I'm trying to finish off my updates to a certain orangey-red-themed table, it occurs to me that I don't have the *slightest* idea whether all the ball-visual tricks we built up over the years transfer well. From VP8 to VPX, so to speak.
For example-- take the attached ball image. It obviously needs major contrast work, and to that end, I finally bit the bullet and surrendered to GIMP. (hehe, you won that bet, Will @druadic)
If you notice though-- one thing I really like about the technique of "missing pixels" (notice?) is that it can be used to roughly simulate the PF being reflected on to the ball... well before that was far more realistically done in... VP9 & VPX, I think?
So, just kinda curious-- would any of our old ball tricks actually transfer usefully to VPX?
