I notice that the robots in the background are not just affine transforms but some form of blurring/antialiasing. Coming back on it now after all these topics, does it make sense to assume that this is some form of camera lens effect as well as using mipmaps/other antialiasing methods to make the robots feel more natural? I could imagine all the background robots having high quality but that would make the image feel very obtuse.
