How to use antialiasing

| I donīt understand the antialiasing command. When I write AntiAlias 1 in my code I canīt see any difference. The edges of the meshes look like before. Can someone help me? |
| ||
| Antialising might be forced off in your graphics card settings. |
| ||
| I checked the settings of my graphics card and I saw that it depents on the running program if antialiasing is switched on or off. And when I run games (real games like battlefield) then antialiasing works well. Maybe I could set the values in the graphics card settings, but then it would be the same for all applications. |

| You using an Nvidia card by any chance? Seem to recall a long-standing issue with Blitz antialiasing and (i think) some NVidia cards/drivers. |
| ||
| Yes, I have a Nvidia card. Sorry, but I need always a longer time for my answers, because my english is not good and I donīt know the meanings of the buttons īPostī and īPreviewī at the bottom of this page |

| Antialiasing in Blitz3D is dodgy (unreliable). People have been complaining about this for ages. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. I don't think it's just an nVidia thing, either. It used to work fine on my old nVidia card, until I updated the drivers. |
| ||
| Thanks for the reply. Do you know anything I could do to smooth the edges of meshes without antialias? |
| ||
| i have ATI and antialiasing in b3d doesn't work. so i think we have to live with it. force your graphicscard to do aa. thats the only way i think. |
| ||
| If aliasing is that bothersome, I guess the best thing to do is use a higher res screen mode?! |
| ||
| try 'smoothing' or 'bevelling' the meshes in your 3d modeller |

| smear vasalyne over your screen - sorry, actually you could try a variation on the motion blue effect in the code archives. |
