using smooth() with OPENGL
Sep 17th, 2006, 3:57am  
So I decided to switch to OPENGL from JAVA2D to see if I could speed up my rendering (doing 2D vector art with a simple glow effect). It's great, it basically doubles my framerate. However, even though I am calling smooth() there doesn't appear to be any anti-aliasing going on. Is there something special I have to do to achieve this or what?

If you're on PC it's probably just that you need to turn it on in your graphics card's control panel. If you don't have an advanced control panel with antialiasing options you should download the most current drivers for your graphics card.

Ok. Located that. It was set to "application controlled" when I checked it. So I switched it on and it didn't seem to do anything other than mess up alpha a bit. Anyway, maybe I am suffering from a less than compliant graphics card.
