Windlight snapshots lack antialiasing...

Hi Folks-

I've been reading forums like crazy on this one and still at a loss, so I'm hoping someone here can provide some insight..

In brief-

I'm running windows xp pro on a powermac quad 2.8 (200 with nvidia 8800 and latest drivers installed. I have antialiasing set to 16x and my in-world performance and quality are (so far) superb! I am able to set all of my sliders to the "ultra" setting and the antialiasing is present.

But... I'm taking high resolution snapshots and when I view them in photoshop, the antialiasing is not present. A real drag.. Beautiful scenery and jaggy photos..

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,

Ray


P.S. I was able to get FSAA (Full Screen Antialiasing) to work on the mac client by using the OpenGL profiler and creating custom settings, and the resulting snapshots showed the antialiasing, but the mac performance was not great, with the freezing and crashing and all.

High-res snapshots don't actually get rendered, so maybe that's why they aren't antialiased? In any case, when you resize the snapshots in photoshop it will do antialiasing.

Much thanks for the response.

Yeah- it would seem like the snapshots aren't getting rendered with the graphics card settings-

Two interesting points here though-

1- looking through past posts and bug reports and it seems to have gotten fixed at one time- yet has reappeared again --- https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-3540 ( I will try to contact LL about this and see what its current status is.)

2- when using a mac and the OpenGl profiler my snapshots show with full antialiasing just as seen on screen. So- I'm wondering why they are getting rendered through that process and not on the windows side of life.

Funny- Im caught between either being able to make acceptable snapshots (mac side) with lousy performance- or having fantastic performance (windows) and lousy screen shots.

Haha- my rl luck has luck entered my second life.

I will keep you all updated on this as I'm sure many of you would like to enjoy the same benefits.

Ok-

All the best
