How to render sprites alised (sharp) in Cycles?

Question

Is there a way to disable Anti-Alising in cycles so renders will be pixelated? In Workbench there is option for no filtering but its missing from Cycles.

Answer 1

so i went from to by going Render Properties->Film->Pixel Filter->Width and setting as low as it would go (0.01px instead of 1.5px)

you'll probably also want to make sure Render Properties->Motion Blur and (with camera selected) Object Data Properties->Depth of Field are disabled

Answer 2

In the compositor workspace you can scale the image down, use a Pixelate node and scale back to original size.
