Pretty.

Is this post-processing thing going to go into the main SCP thing?

[shiv]

Hery said that yes, but not soon. It must be optimized first AFAIK.

[blowfish]

Post processing is good and all, but what about some good old fashioned antialiasing?

AA is yesterdays news. Nobody uses THAT these days.
Tsk, go with the times old man!

[blowfish]

My point was that I'm surprised that some people still don't have it turned on.

[Commander Zane]

Probably because nobody can tell the difference.
I can't.

[Droid803]

Look at the lines on the Valk2/Stentor.

[Commander Zane]

I thought that was anisotropic filtering.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

There's no option for anti-aliasing on OS X Launcher.

[Stormkeeper]

Once in a while its nice to thumb back over every page to see all the pics again.

OSX is the exception, since there is no way to enable antialiasing.  Though maybe that could change if this got a little more attention...

Bloom is my favourite.

Because it's a ****ing processor hog.

No it isn't. It's a GPU hog, but if you have anything past GeForce 6 series GPU, you should be able to use about 4xAA, which already improves quality significantly in my opinion.

I might be mistaken but OpenGL stack in fs2_open doesn't seem make full use of GPU processing and instead uses CPU more heavily than it should.

For me and my system, the marginal gain in quality is not worth the drop in performance.

I didn't think there was any support in the engine for AA at all... I thought it was all controlled by driver settings these days.

Understandable, though TBH I don't have the greatest system and 4xAA barely impacts performance.

It doesn't.  That is one of the reasons why Mac users have had no antialiasing options in the past.

Just found this on my HD:

[Commander Zane]

Just went through the main FreeSpace 2 campaign, I managed to increase my kill count to 662 (About 150 more kills) by using a bank of Tempests on every mission. Looking at my statistics, I found something very bizzare.

[The E]

Well, of course. If you hit the Sath in the mission after bearbaiting, you will get the kill, since beam kills don't count.
