Chapter 465: RetroPassNode

Core Idea

A post-processing pass that applies a retro PS1-style effect to the scene.

This node renders the scene with classic PlayStation 1 visual characteristics:

• Vertex snapping: Vertices are snapped to screen pixels, creating the iconic "wobbly" geometry
• Affine texture mapping: Textures are sampled without perspective correction, resulting in distortion effects
• Low resolution: Default 0.25 scale (typical 320x240 equivalent)
• Nearest-neighbor filtering: Sharp pixelated textures without smoothing
