right board for antialiasing? 2004-01-22 - By Christophe Leske
Back
Hi Colin,
The 3D antialiasing is due to the fact that the image is rendered at a
higher resolution and then squished down programmatically.
This means that the AA that is happening is done more or less in
Software (there seems to be hardware AA support in Director MX2004).
However, most modern 3D cards (Nvidia, ATI) allow you to set AA
independently from the app. I got an option here for my GeForce4 where i
can set the AA mode on all the time. And this is a lot faster than the
AA that Director is providing, because it is done in hardware.
The trick is thereby not to use Director's antialiasing, but the one
provided by the card itself.
Whereever you can achieve 60fps with the latest Nvidia/ATI board
depends on the complexity of scene and the crunching power of the card,
but an ATI 9600 card could probably provide something around these
numbers for presentational purposes.
