l
Anti-Aliasing checkbox
improves image quality by removing jagged edges from 3D images,
resulting in smoother, more naturallooking objects. Selecting
Application Preference
willresult
in high quality images, with negligible reduction in the application's performance.
l
Anti-Aliasing slider
can be applied using different sample patterns and sample points such as
2X, 4X, or 6X. Moving this slider to the right increases sampling to provide the most realistic 3D
image.
l
Anisotropic Filtering checkbox
uses a texture filtering technique that blends multiple texture
samples together. Selecting
Application Preference
will result in high quality textures, with a
negligible reduction in the application's performance.
l
Anisotropic Filtering slider
By moving this slider to the right, as the number of samples taken
increases, the quality of the final image increases significantly. 16X provides extremely detailed,
crisp-looking images as a result of the largest number of texture samples possible.
n
Texture Preference slider
Selecting this decides whether your application should use high quality or high performance textures.
Moving the slider to the right delivers the highest quality experience. Moving the slider to the left
emphasizes a high performance solution while still providing good visuals.
n
Mipmap Detail Level slider
This will allow you to choose the texture quality of the mipmaps the application will use. Mipmaps are
a collection of different sized textures of the same image. As the user moves closer to a 3D object the
image qualityshould increase, requiring a higher qualitytexture of the same image. The base mipmap
is the highestquality texture, and allsubsequent mipmaps are smaller sized textures of the sameimage.
Moving the slider to the right selects a higher quality base mipmap, delivering the highest quality
application experience. Moving the slider to the left selects a lower quality mipmap, delivering the
highestapplication performance.
