| | | (...) I've been fiddling with LDView and I can't seem to render images larger than 1020x688 (my screen resolution is 1024x768). Does this mean that I can't render images larger than my current screen resolution? What I did with LDGLite was render a (...) (20 years ago, 25-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

| | | | | (...) If you can get the Full Screen Antialiasing (FSAA) to work then you've accomplished pretty much the same thing as the x3/shrink method. I only get "none" for an FSAA choice in the preferences dialog though. I'm not sure what minimum hardware (...) (20 years ago, 25-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

| | | | | | (...) The technical detail is that LDView requires the video card/video driver to support the WGL_ARB_multisample OpenGL extension. The MX cards don't support that. (I think this is because they only support supersample antialiasing.) However, if (...) (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

| | | | | | (...) What's the difference between supersample and multisample antialiasing? There was a setting in the control panel about some sort of ***sample antialiasing, but I was afraid to change it because it gave a sharp warning when I selected it. (...) (...)

| | | | | | (...) The difference is that multisample AA only samples the texture once per pixel, while supersample samples the texture once per sample. This makes multi-sample AA significantly faster any time you're in a fill-rate limited situation. (...) (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

| | | | | | (...) I thought we fixed that. (2 URLs) (...) Nope. I have the same problem. Possibly even worse with antialiased lines. I give them an extra bump forward beyond the polygon offset. More bits in your Z buffer reduces the symptoms somewhat. (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

I have a sample generated at 2400x1800--and then resized to 800x600--that can be seen by (...) (20 years ago, 27-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

I'll have to wait until I get home to verify for sure that they (...) (20 years ago, 27-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)
