antialiasing

Hello. I am trying to enable transparency antialiasing in my Ogre-Direct3D application, but it just won't work.

HRESULT hres = d3dSystem->getDevice()->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ADAPTIVETESS_Y, (D3DFORMAT)MAKEFOURCC('S', 'S', 'A', 'A'));
/// returned value : hres == S_OK !

This method is taken from NVidia's technical report.

I can enable transparency AA manually through the NVIDIA Control Panel, but surely I can't ask my users to do it like this. Anyone has any idea?

Thank you for your time,

Bill

Some old games look really jagged nowadays on large displays without any anti-aliasing, but don't have any option built-in to the game to enable it. On a PC with an NVIDIA graphics card, it's possible to force anti-aliasing in the NVIDIA control panel which can really improve this. But I'm playing… >>> More
