Hi folks!

Happy new year to everybody!
Thanks go to the Xith3D team
for their great work.

I wonder if anybody tried to
activate fullscreen antialiasing
with Xith3D.
If somebody succeeded in doing so
I would be delighted to hear how
it works.

Regards

Qudus, could you integrate this setting somewhere in the rendering code ?

Relevant doc for JOGL : http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/nightly/javadoc_public/javax/media/opengl/GLCapabilities.html#setSampleBuffers(boolean)

Relevant doc for LWJGL :

Wow, now thats what I call support

Sure. I will see, what I can do...

I'm afraid it'll need another trick for SWT, because JOGL's GLCanvas isn't used, so maybe there's a setting for SWT's GLCanvas.

I'll investigate that.

Sure. I will see, what I can do...

Boolean param or enum ?
E.g.

Code:

// Activate FSAA
Canvas3DWrapper.createCanvas(/*...*/, true, /*...*/);
// No FSAA
Canvas3DWrapper.createCanvas(/*...*/, true, /*...*/);

Or it seems you can adjust the number of samples, so maybe an enum is better, see example in JPCT engine :

Code:

SAMPLINGMODE_OGSS

public static final int SAMPLINGMODE_OGSS

    Use 2x2 oriented grid oversampling (FSAA using supersampling)

    See Also:
        Constant Field Values

SAMPLINGMODE_OGSS_FAST

public static final int SAMPLINGMODE_OGSS_FAST

    Use 1.5x1.5 oriented grid oversampling (FSAA using supersampling). This mode is faster then "normal" 2x2 oversampling, but image quality is a bit lower.

    See Also:
        Constant Field Values

SAMPLINGMODE_OGUS

public static final int SAMPLINGMODE_OGUS

    Use 0.5x0.5 oriented grid undersampling (to upsample an image rendered at a lower resolution)

    See Also:
        Constant Field Values

SAMPLINGMODE_NORMAL

public static final int SAMPLINGMODE_NORMAL

    Normal sampling mode (1-to-1)

    See Also:
        Constant Field Values

SAMPLINGMODE_HARDWARE_ONLY

public static final int SAMPLINGMODE_HARDWARE_ONLY

    A special sampling mode that indicates, that no software rendering will be used on this framebuffer. OpenGL support will work with any other sampling mode though (but the sampling modes don't affect the OpenGL output).

    See Also:
        Constant Field Values

@Marvin : I wouldn't mind doing that myself, but each time I changed something in Canvas3DWrapper you adjusted just after me So I think it's better if it's you.

I think, we should bloat the constructors. So a getter/setter will do just fine. And if more than a boolean setting is possible, then an enum is good. I will do it these days.

You mean we *shouldn't* bloat the constructors ??
I agree 

[Marvin Fröhlich]

I agree 

Oh. Yeah. Sure-

[Marvin Fröhlich]

FSAA is now fully supported by JOGL_AWT and LWJGL renderers .

It is selectable through the constructors of CanvasConstructionInfo, Canvas3DWrapper, the factory methods of Canvas3DWrapper and the factory methods of RenderPeer. It is not switchable at runtime. Theoretically this is possible, but it is not an easy task to do. The CanvasPeer needed to be recreated, which would mean, that all OpenGL names needed to be resetted. So this is not for the 0.9.0 branch.

FSAA mode is fully selectable through the Xith3DTestLauncher. Sorry for the ugly new design of the launcher. It is still work in progress. But it works .

Enjoy.

Awesome!

You guys rock!

As it is a new feature I suppose I have
to built the lib from sourcecode, right?
Now I know how to spend my weekend 

thanks

You're welcome .

Correct.

Have fun .

[Marvin Fröhlich]

FSAA is now also available for SWT .

Marvin

[methulski]

Cool!

I haven't been able
to give it a try until
today , but as soon as
svn is installed I'll
build the packages.
