Resolution tool

I made this tool as I was thinking if I could make a pixelated effect without having to use post effect and use more CPU.

It also kinda help hack the FPS system of playCanvas to achieve a low frame rate feel if needed.

Just download the script and attach it to anything in the scene so you can play with the settings.

Very nice! Looking at it, instead of patching the requestAnimationFrame, you could disable autoRender and only render every X ms. That way you can have the full 60 FPS for simulation, input handling etc but make it look like a low frame rate.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Done!

Is this code still here?
