Multisampling in iOS4 - Bersaelor - Jul 9, 2010 03:33 PM

Hey,

Apple's iPhoneAppProgrammingGuide for iOS 4 says they now support Multisampling/Antialiasing.

Quote:OpenGL ES in iPhone OS 4 and later offers multisampling as an option. Even though your application can use a smaller scale factor (even 1.0), implement multisampling anyway. An added advantage is that this technique also provides higher quality on devices that do not support high-resolution displays.

Well I couldn't find any particular iPhone Tutorials on how to do that, and simply adding:

Code:

    glEnable(GL_MULTISAMPLE);

didn't do the trick. I guess I have to add some Buffer for multisampling, do I?

Did anyone [/code]of you add Multisampling since iOS4 was released and what experiences did you gain?

Thank you for the quick reply, but my search through the Apple Dev Forums seems to suggest its a little more complicated than that.

I'm going to conduct a bigger inquiry tomorrow, yet, if someone knows about sample code using Multisampling in ES1.1, I'd be happy if you could post it here

I replied "watch the WWDC videos" on Twitter but now that I'm in front of my computer I can tell you it's this one you want: "Session 415 - OpenGL ES Overview for iPhone OS". Code is all there - though yer gonna have to hit pause and type for a bit.

Thanks

I appreciate it!

PS: I managed to get it working and here is the result: http://tacticadev.wordpress.com/2010/07/12/322/
I'm still trying to improve the performance though, so I haven't published the fps-results yet.
