Some of you played The Order 1886, did you noticed that this game has no any aliasing ?
I'm very impressed with their visuals work, what they are using for killing aliasing ?

Did Modbot just killed Turkoop's thread?

Are you two twins or something?

MSAA did a great job at cleaning up geometry, and a post process filter with a temporal component killed it dead. Like TXAA.

But just like TXAA, the resulting image is a bit soft.

I personally don't mind the softness, and I raved about AC3's TXAA implementation. Until you see a game running without any aliasing or aliasing artifacts, you just don't know how profound a difference it makes to immersion.

When you drench your game in motion blur, depth of field and film grain, you had better brutalize the shit out of aliasing.

CA and grain filters don't hide aliasing... If anything CA exacerbates it.

Actually, it does. There was article about it, but i wont be able to find it right now

How you render specular lighting has huge impact as well.

Specular showdown
Spectacular Specular .ppt
Frequency Domian Normal Map Filtering - tube

Sure, they still has some aliasing from speculars though:

Is it really? I'm surprised by that.

forward rendering is on a comeback. if you are interested in the technicalities you can look up forward+ rendering. I wouldn't really call it forward rendering though since you still do stuff like z-depth pre pass, you are still deferring some stages of the rendering. Tiled deferred or cluster rendering is other terms I've heard for the same technique. I think this is what RAD uses, but I have no source on it.

What other major upcoming titles use forward rendering? The Order is an outlier if anything.

How is the AF in The Order ?

They mentioned tiled forward at their siggraph presentation. Clustered forward is a different method that does not require the depth pre-pass.

Here you go.
Crafting Next-Gen Material Pipeline for The Order: 1886.

Ryse used a Hybrid of Tiled Deferred and for some things Forward+.

There is quite bit of research on tiled/clustered forward/deferred etc methods.
IE. Linked list lighting from Imsomniac, Clustered shading from Avalanche and so on.

Not a game, but there was an AMD demo that I recall running on my PC that was forward rendering. Looked pretty cool.

Here it is:

The Knack avatars back to back are freaking me out more than OP not knowing about AA.

Whats wrong with Knack?

And everything has A if you look close enough.
