AA and AF what is it

hey what is aa and af that people keep referin to thanks

 

[Archangel]

it adds extra perspective to the grafics.. unfortunaely, this makes it a lot harder for grafics cards

without getting into the math needed ie fourier transforms. when you take a picture there is infinite amount of details. however, a screen can only display a finite amount of detail. so images that are far away and small, the image becomes distorted. what aa and af does is smooth out the distorted image. heres an example.

so do both do the same thing just smoth the image

The Defintion of AA (anti-aliasing) = It is refers to a method to reduce the brightness levels between two neighboring pixels by overlapping the colours in the difference level to neighboring pixels. This make the images appear smoother.

The defintion of AF (anisotropic filtering) = In 3D computer graphics, anisotropic filtering is a method of enhancing the image quality of textures on surfaces that are far away and steeply angled with respect to the camera. Like bilinear and trilinear filtering it eliminates aliasing effects, but introduces less blur in the process and thus preserves more detail. Anisotropic filtering is computationally relatively expensive and has only recently become a standard feature of consumer-level graphics cards

hope this helps

thanks helped
