What is antistropic filtering?

category: general [glöplog]
 
a simple question, but I was wondering what this does and what visual differences I should notice...in basic english.

Also, what happens when I turn it on to x16 in my Nvidia settings? Will it affect all 3d apps?
it's acctually called anisotropic.... perhaps now google might help ya! ;-D

It's texture filtering....

I've first noticed the diferrence in my CloseGL demo where I used that ugly doom texture in the floor in the duck part, at distance. Though, usually it's not to be noticed and I ignore it.

how could have this possibly turned out in a serious thread? :(

Thanks for explaining that to me. It's not what I thought it was.

Anyway, now that the formalities are behind us....

anisotropic filtering only gives a noticeable improvement on surfaces that are almost parallel to the direction of the view.

so let's see the *floor*:

...and even if you turn it on in your nVidia settings, the application might override that, so better check the app's options instead.

In the pig's nose or in the power socket?
