    Re: White noise around model with colored background —Don Heyse
   (...) Ok, I had a little time over the weekend to spend with the Red book, and I think I may have it now. Hopefully not too late to make it into LDView version 3.0 RC 2. ;^) So to eliminate the halo, what we want to put around the image edges of the (...) (19 years ago, 20-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: White noise around model with colored background —Travis Cobbs
     (If you haven't read Don's message, go do that now. It's too long to quote here.) I have a few comments. The first is that it will only fully work if you set the line width to 2 or more. Otherwise, you'll have jaggies around the inside edges of the (...) (19 years ago, 20-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: White noise around model with colored background —Don Heyse
     (...) And I'm not sure I understand what you're saying about the linewidths. :^) I use glPolygonOffset to make sure the lines get drawn over the polygons underneath. (Plus I cheat a bit and add a bit more z to antialiased edge lines so even skinny (...) (19 years ago, 20-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: White noise around model with colored background —Travis Cobbs
     (...) Well, as you point out below, I was mostly wrong. However, I suspect it will still produce jaggies on the inside edge of the lines (but I could be wrong). These would almost certainly go away with 2-pixel edge lines. (These things are very (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: White noise around model with colored background —Travis Cobbs
   (...) Well, it's certainly long past LDView 3.0 RC 2, but I did finally come back to this. After spending a few hours getting nice alpha data into the image file for transparent parts, I realized that the same set of steps would probably work for (...)

        Re: White noise around model with colored background —Travis Cobbs
   (...) I forgot to mention, but while the above page looks very similar to the page I posted recently on a lugnet.cad.ray thread, it is different in a very important way. The image on the above page was saved out of LDView at 800x600, which is the (...) (17 years ago, 10-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
   
        Re: White noise around model with colored background —Don Heyse
   (...) Hey those look nice. Just for kicks I ran off a test with the ancient method of ldglite at 2x scale followed by ImageMagick mogrify 50% to shrink it back and antialias. (URL) I like your edge outer edges better. Very nice. I'll have to look (...) (17 years ago, 10-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
   
        Re: White noise around model with colored background —Travis Cobbs
   (...) The image on the above page was rendered with antialiased lines, but no FSAA. FSAA would have brought the halo back, since there's no way to have FSAA on part of the scene, but not on other parts. In theory I could render the image twice, once (...)

        Re: White noise around model with colored background —Don Heyse
   (...) Wow, those lines are much smoother than anything I remember getting with simple antialiased lines. Was that rendered by ATI or Nvidia, or do they both give you results like that? Does the SMOOTH HINT make a big difference? I think I set it to (...) (17 years ago, 10-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
   
        Re: White noise around model with colored background —Travis Cobbs
   (...) I don't set the filter hint. It was rendered on an nVidia 7800 GT. My ATI at work does a reasonably good job with the same settings, but it leaves a few small gaps in the edges (around some studs): (URL) (...) Actually, based on this you'd (...)

        Re: White noise around model with colored background —Travis Cobbs
   (...) I just tried again here at work with the line filter hint set to NICEST. To be honest, I like it better the other way. To my eye, it's more blurry when set to NICEST: (URL) The difference is best seen by loading both images in separate tabs of (...) (17 years ago, 10-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
