about the anti-aliasing

AA is important for 3d graphics. Can someone tell me some info. about it?
I want to do some researches about it especially some new algorithm for moblie graphics.

You can start with the handful of articles in B3D's "Articles" section. Kristoff and Dave wrote a paper analyzing AA for 3dfx, IIRC, but I can't remember if it's the same as their article here ("SSAA Analyzed").

I'm sure a Google search will turn up more, especially on the more currently relevant multi-sampling AA method.

Thank you very much ! I have found this paper !

It is also a good paper for me. Thanks a lot!

I think aa for mobile graphics is also important. I want to do some in this filed. Who can give me some suggestions ? Thanks a lot.

Well AA for mobile parts should be a real possibility now that ATi & nVidia have just released some seriously powerful kicking laptop viddy cards.

It is amazing to think that I just bought this eMachine 6805 with a radeon 9600 in it and now there are laptops with x800s and 6800u's in them. Now if eMachine/Gateway will just throw one of these new mobile gpu beasts into a similar laptop to the 6805, then life would be grand.

With mobile graphics you mean notebooks/laptops or not? If yes the algorithms are the same as in the PC desktop space. Should you mean though the PDA/mobile market, it's an entire chapter of it's own, since chips are quite small there.

What I mean of the mobile graphcs is for the PDA/mobile devices. I have read some paper for it. Also, we have seen a good paper in siggraph 2003. It introduces a new multisample algorithm suitable for mobile devices.
could someone give some suggestions about it for me? I am eager to learn more about it. What's more, I think this is a hot and good research orientation now.

Thanks a lot!

There are some interesting new proposals for AA sampling patterns (primarily for mobile devices) from Tomas Akenine-Moller and Jacob Strom. They're also kind enough to mention MBX

I want to see a multisample version of Quincunx but without the centre sample to see how effect it would be or not. I.E. W+1,H+1 sub samples.

I think it would look pretty ugly. Worse than Flipquad for sure.

Thank you ! This paper is very good . Now , I want to make some modifications for its mutlisample algorithm. But I have not good ideas, who can give me some suggestions if you have read this paper.

LOL

Also, we incorrectly state that the MBX architecture is a scaled-down version of the Kyro architecture. We are sorry for this. [This was kindly pointed out by Simon Fenney at Imagination Technologies]

Algorithms like FLIPQUAD would be great IMHO, if they could be combined with a fast adaptive AF algorithm (even if it's just 2x samples). If I'd have the dilemma between "edge-" and "texture-AA", I'd definitely pick the latter. Blurry textures are more annoying to my eye, than polygon edge aliasing.
