[SlimDX] Anti-aliasing?

Mathy · 2010-03-18T10:18:37

Hi there. I am rendering 2D through Direct3D on the SlimDX wrapper, because I was told that DirectDraw was deprecated or obsolete. Now, the edges of my faces of the meshes I render look terrible. I would like them to be anti-aliased. I've done a lot of research myself, and I've figured out that multisampling and anti-aliasing is apparently the same? (Correct me if I'm wrong) So I tried initializing the device in the following way: Dim PresentParameters As New PresentParameters PresentParameters.BackBufferCount = 1 PresentParameters.BackBufferFormat = Format.R5G6B5 PresentParameters.BackBufferWidth = System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width PresentParameters.BackBufferHeight = System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height PresentParameters.Windowed = False PresentParameters.SwapEffect = SwapEffect.Discard PresentParameters.EnableAutoDepthStencil = False PresentParameters.Multisample = MultisampleType.FourSamples PresentParameters.MultisampleQuality = 2 Dim Direct3D As New Direct3D DEVICE = New Device(Direct3D, 0, DeviceType.Hardware, Control.Handle, CreateFlags.HardwareVertexProcessing, PresentParameters) Notice that the present parameter's multi sample property is set to four samples, and the quality is set to two. I read somewhere that the quality depends on what the graphics card can hold. From what I can see, my graphics card can render the final outcome just fine, but the edges are still jagged. I am rendering sphere meshes, that has materials applied to them. There's been a few complaints in regards to myself appearing "lazy" to some, because they thought I didn't do enough research before going here first. That's not the case, and I appologize. I've tried to be describing the issue as well as I can with my beginner knowledge in game programming.

Also, how would I programmatically see how many quality levels the graphics card supports etc?

Here is a code snippet from SlimDX SDK 2009 Simple Framework:

Perfect!

I've rated you excellent!
