Saw this at XS and thought I'd post it here as well. Who is SMAA from?

Crytek and a Spanish university (Universidad de Zaragoza).

Want to try but dont want to risk BF3 punkbuster banning for injectors.

I've just come upon this and am really impressed. So far I've tried it in Fallout 3 and NFS:HP and it works very well. I like how it doesn't molest text like ATI's MLAA. Here is the author's website with I think an updated version since this post. Maybe I've just been under a rock but this deserves more press than it seems to be getting.

Is it a true replacement for FSAA quality? I've found that FXAA is good at letting me lower the amount of FSAA I use, but is not even close to a replacement.

EDIT: Looking at the screen shots it looks an awful lot better than FXAA. I'd probably use it with 2x FSAA with great results.

I asked about SMAA in the comments of this article:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5458/the-radeon-hd-7970-reprise-pcie-bandwidth-overclocking-and-msaa

Which partially covered "the state of AA"

Ryan did respond with "As I understand it, SMAA is still a work in progress. It would be premature to comment on it at this time. "

So either it's not mature enough or there's some conspiracy keeping the media quiet. Conspiracies are always doubtful, so I'm going with not mature enough yet? Maybe developers just aren't exposed enough to it yet.

There was a tech demo video posted here several months ago, it looked like good stuff. (found it: http://www.iryoku.com/smaa/ download at high quality and watch, streaming quality isn't the same).

I'm sure it takes quite some time to get around. Not many developers have new forms of AA on the top of their to-do-list. If it is truly great, then it will slowly be adopted. I'm interested in trying it out with the injector in the mean time.

I'm doing another play through of Borderlands and SMAA gives a dramatic improvement, even over forcing MSAA or MLAA.

Btw you can use SMAA ultra present, default value is High.


its in injector.ini

[smaa]
;smaa preset one of {SMAA_PRESET_LOW, SMAA_PRESET_MEDIUM, SMAA_PRESET_HIGH, SMAA_PRESET_ULTRA}
preset = SMAA_PRESET_HIGH change to SMAA_PRESET_ULTRA

I'm also doing another playthrough of Borderlands with SMAA. Let's coop it!

i only know what AA is. Can somebody here explain what the different types of AA are? Or perhaps a link? i cant understand shit when it comes to FSAA or MSAA...

EDIT: NM. Found it.
