Home > Eye candy


 

Eye candy is an expression used to describe something that is most remarkable by its appearance, but that doesn't have anything else so exciting. This term could be used to describe, for example, a movie or computer game with incredible graphics and visual effects, but with poor plot, gameplay, etc.

The term can also mean something that was deliberately made to be visually attractive, such as a wallpaper, painting, advertising and so on.

Eye Candy can also be used to describe high quality, visual effects in computer games, such as anti-aliasing (AA) or anisotropic filtering (AF). By turning on these features and generelly increasing the graphics level the game looks smoother and better, at the cost of frames shown per second (FPS). Playing a computer game with "max eye candy" usually means the person has a powerful computer and plays the game with a high resolution, high quality textures and max AA and AF.
