Scaling Sprites changes Resolution

[mderryberry]

Hi,

I just started working with Pixi.js and am trying to scale down sprites without losing the resolution. For example, if I have an image of size 72x72 and apply a scale to it such as:

 

var texture = PIXI.Texture.fromImage("image.png");

var sprite = new PIXI.Sprite(texture);

sprite.scale.x = 0.1;

sprite.scale.x = 0.1;

 

This scales the size down nicely, however the image becomes extremely blurry. Is there a way to fix this? I have tried using PIXI.SCALE_MODES.NEAREST but it produces the same effect

IT is because it scales linearly (or bicubic if in canvas), how did you apply the nearest filter? Can you show me an example where both methods show the same result?
