PSA: LDD Deserves Anti-Aliasing

Recommended Posts

So several months ago I modified my Nvidia driver settings to add AA (Anti-Aliasing) to LDD. The results were absolutely glorious:

The screenshot difference was used with my choice of 32x CSAA, which is rather redundant, but the performance impact is minimal. My laptop with it's AMD drivers uses 4x MSAA, which isn't as good but still looks far superior to default.

A few things about LDD AA:

  • AA will not work if LDD has "Advanced Shading" enabled, but will work fine with "High-quality rendering".
  • LDD screenshots with AA enabled will have a faint grey outline around models, which is very visible with black or dark backgrounds, but not visible with light backrgounds.

So if you can navigate through your GPU drivers settings, which should never be difficult, try enabling AA. I think it's incredible. :classic:

Do you know if being able to do this is new? I thought I tried it a long time ago and it wouldn't work. Thanks either way. LDD looks much nicer now.

edit: Actually, I probably never turned off advanced shading.

It works on AMD cards too. I have the individual program setting setup in the Catalyst Control Center for HD 5870 Eyefinity. But my desktop is 3 monitors wide so there is a performance slowdown with really big models and AA on. But its still great!
