guys, i need help..
you see the image above?
there are two kinds of line..
i chose hot pink(R:255 G: 0 B:255) as the transparent portion of the images.
the anti-aliased line leaves a very bad outline! so i know this is where Pixel art comes..BUT!
i want my graphics to be pre-rendered!
i model in 3dsmax then render it as png then load it in DX BUT!! the outline of the image(e.g cube) is anti-aliased!! so how can i solve this?
btw, this is what i use to render 2d graphics
ive already tried to turn ON the Antialias(d3ddev->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ANTIALIASEDLINEENABLE,TRUE);
BUT,,no changes..please help me!! thanks GUYS!!!
THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I create my 2D Models in Cinema4D, too and had the same problem as you. Solution seems pretty simple: I opened the image in Photoshop and chose the paint bucket tool. I turned anti-alias off (little checkbox on top) and just colored it. That makes it look very sharp, but if you use the linear-texture-filter of DirectX it looks pretty good (maybe I would use the sharpen filter in Photoshop, too, it fits pretty good with the linear filter, I think).
Can we see a screenshot? It sounds like your backbuffer isn't the same size as your client area, so D3D is stretching it to fit. Are you using AdjustWindowRect() to get the correct client area size?
yes!! my back buffer area is 640x480 and YES my image is 640x480 also..it isn't stretched.

Hope I could help ;-)
how to turn off the anti-alias in photoshop?? and linear-texture-filter??? how is that??
So the cube you're rendering is a pre-rendered object? In that case, it's just that your source texture is wrong, and probably has a bad alpha channel.
Ok, in Photoshop u turn the PaintBucket-AntiAlias off with the little checkbox on top (when you have chosen the tool). It's there at least in my CS2 Version.
So, if there is still a pink outline, use the paint-bucket multiple times. That should do just fine.
This is how you turn on the Filtering in DirectX: SetSamplerState(0, D3DSAMP_MAGFILTER, D3DTEXF_LINEAR); SetSamplerState(0, D3DSAMP_MINFILTER, D3DTEXF_LINEAR); SetSamplerState(0, D3DSAMP_MIPFILTER, D3DTEXF_LINEAR); (At least you do so in Delphi)
