Get blocky look on textures some textures

Question

If I do this:

GraphicsDevice.SamplerStates[0] = SamplerState.PointWrap;

All textures I draw are blocky.

GraphicsDevice.SamplerStates[0] = SamplerState.LinearWrap;

All of my textures are blurred a bit.

What do I have to do so that only some of my textures are blocky and some are blurred?

Answer 1

You would need to use two separate sprite batches for each type of drawing. One for the blocky. One for the blurry.

Use this overloaded method when you begin your sprite batch:

SpriteBatch.Begin (SpriteSortMode, BlendState, SamplerState, DepthStencilState, RasterizerState, Effect)

The result should look something like this:

SpriteBatch.Begin (SpriteSortMode.Deferred, nil, SamplerState.PointWrap, nil, nil, nil);
//SpriteBatch.Draw(**blocky stuff**);
SpriteBatch.End ();

SpriteBatch.Begin (SpriteSortMode.Deferred, nil, SamplerState.LinearWrap, nil, nil, nil);
//SpriteBatch.Draw(**blurry stuff**);
SpriteBatch.End ();
