"A peculiar alliance has recently come into life. Forces from the extreme left, the extreme right, environmentalist groups, trade unions of developed countries and some self-appointed representatives of civil society, are gathering around a common endeavour: to save the people of developing countries from... development."

New selective supersampling demo
Monday, February 6, 2006 | Permalink

Here's a demo that shows how to do application side supersampling in the shader at much lower performance cost than normally associated with supersampling.

I've made pretty substancial updates to the framework, which for instance made GameEngine2 break (still haven't debugged it, but will do that in the coming days). So if you plan on compiling any older demos, keep your old copy of Framework3 around for now.

2006-02-08 update:
I added dynamic branching to the sample. The cost of supersampling is now even less. 4x only reduces performance to 77% instead of the previous 60%. The 11x mode is now at 55% versus previous 31%.

2006-02-11 update:
I've now fixed the GameEngine2 problem, plus fixed a couple of bugs I found during this process. I also recompiled the older demos based on Framework3 and uploaded new versions so they also got the interface update (you can now select your own keys).
