Epic Games Shows Incredible New Anti-Aliasing Technique - Screenshots + Video Comparison

Epic Games has revealed some comparison screenshots and a video for its new anti-aliasing technique that was first used in its Infiltrator Tech Demo.

Very good for the amount of things that can get aliasing in that Infiltrator Demo. It's all realtime rendered.

[XB1_PS4]

It looks like a prerendered CG trailer, that's how good it looks.

[Pisque]

It's even, obviously enough, better looking than The Last of Us. But as it isn't a PS4 exclusive, Sony fanboys wont bark about how good the graphics look. Immaturity at its finest.

I Want this now! :) No more white line Jaggies!

Proper anti-aliasing can have a dramatic effect on the visual quality of a scene. It's one of the most important aspects of a game's graphics to me. I don't care what you are doing with textures, shaders, post fx, etc. if the aliasing isn't adequately controlled all those other elements are basically worthless to me.

curious to know when AAA-games are going to debut this engine

[KTF26]

Temporal Super-sampling!!!
so it based on Super-sampling (SSAA)
I assume it requires utra-end PC

[hello12]

Gears is going to look so good using directx12 and unreal engine

[Brazz]

only in your dreams gears will mange to have this level of AA. This thing is for PC, no way consoles that can't even reach 1080/60fps 100% of the times can do this...

( i'm including Ps4 and X1 in this comment.)

[equal_youth]

gears is not in development at epic. :/

[christrules0041]

Well Epic licences the Unreal Engine out to other developers to use there engine for other games. Developers usually also work together so if a developer needs help with something they can get help from Epic.

Batman Arkham Knight is being made with Unreal Engine 4.

Just another BLUR AA nothing to see here!

MSAA is the way to go!

MSAA or SuperSampling renders a scene at a higher resolution, and then downsampling to a lower-resolution output thus correcting ALL jaggies.

so if your gaming at 1600p the scene is rendered Higher than that to find and correct jaggies then down samples the image back to 1600p.

(not that 1600p even needs AA, 2xMsaa max really)

YES this taxes your GPU like a Mother trucker but hey beauty always comes at a cost.

Temporal AA, FXAA, MLAA,SMAA, they just blur the edges. Good on systems that have a limit on power but no where as good as MSAA or SSAA.

[Supporter]

Absolutely Correct.

All other solutions are there to try and get proper aa for cheaper than supersampling, problem is.. they blur detail.

Supersampling or MSAA is the only way to properly do this.

For now....

My favorite anti anti-aliasing trick gaming at 2560 X 1600
