Surface Object Antialiasing

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • I figured out how to make polygons, is the Surface object capable of antialiasing the edges? Or will I have to find a different extension for this?

  • Well, in actions of Surface object i can see "Set Anti-aliasing".

    Then i think it's ok no? But you should ask directly to the author of this extension: Looki.

  • You could (even though it would be kinda slow depending on the usage) make the surface twice as large, draw the polygon, shrink the surface object again (with antialiasing turned on before you do)
    A slight bug in this is that you need to have a non-transparent background or it will show black lines around your polygon. It's because resampling doesn't seem to work that well with downsamling surfaces. If you make sure that the surface has an alphachannel before you downsample it will not be as visible though it is still there. (very faint)

  • It may be faster to manually add the anti-aliasing, though. It's just a matter of shrinking some proportions and changing some colors/alpha values, bit by bit.

  • LB: an example would be apprecied and useful for learn this i think.

  • Well, I did some tests, and the anti-aliasing works fine. It's a minute difference, but it is there.

    However, if you want a more visible difference, you can check this example. Notice the line on the right, and see how it looks both with and without the anti-aliasing option checked in the properties.

  • Thanks for the example, as i'm was thinking, it's useful.

  • I found a way to do fast Antialiasing of lines. Also included are two other ideas I had. One for smoothing circles that works but is slow, and an early idea I had for AAing lines.

    The example isn't complete, but it's more of a proof of concept I finally got to work. If someone can get this working for polygons, I would be grateful. If I get it working first I'll upload it.

    Sorry for the lack of commenting. I'll do commenting when I finish a full version. However I don't know the next time that I will have internet.

  • Hey! I haven't seen you here in ages. Nice example, but please try to avoid bringing up two year old posts ;)

  • Interesting usage of some of Surface's features to say the least, anyway :D
    I'm still working on an update for Surface (which will not be released for a while - it's not a huge update, but I just have too much stuff going on) and have considered to implement some anti-aliasing related actions.
    Jacob is right, though, of course - you can always post your examples in new threads instead of bumping old ones!

  • It is not definitely coming - please make sure to understand that. I've considered it for the next update, but I haven't even started implementing it!

    I think you might not be able to create threads because you didn't register any CT products.

    Please login to see this link.

  • Ah, well then. When I get back home in a few weeks I'll register MMF2 and SFW Exporter. In the meantime I'll continue to cast necromancy on this thread.

    I just got hit with more inspiration so I am going to try something new if it works I'll post it.

  • You can create threads with no registered products, at least in this forum. The button is at the VERY BOTTOM OF THE PAGE for whatever stupid reason.
