Q: Can it be done like this ?
A forward render pass on RSX that is 2XAA and a deferrd pass on SPU's that also has 2xAA on spu's? perhaps a deferrd 1024×540 framebuffer x2aa on spu's for lighting/shadows
Alternative AA methods and their comparison with traditional MSAA*

I came across this while doing some research:
http://diaryofagraphicsprogrammer.blogspot.com/2009/07/msaa-on-ps3-with-light-pre-pass-on-spu.html
It has a link to a PowerPoint presentation by Matt Swoboda from the PhyreEngine™ Team at SCEE, which discusses exactly what the OP is asking.
It's a very good and interesting presentation, that also discusses other stuff like Depth of Field processing. There are definitely some clear links to the technology used in Uncharted 2 and Killzone, among others.

Some of us have only stopped trying to argue about it
Gosh, PS3 is remarkably smooth. I find that hard to believe! Any ideas how they could pull this off?
It's a technique that needs further explanation! Could a game changer for PS3, if IQ can be achieved that level with SPU cycles.
Who's arranged an interview with Pandemic's chief engineer?!

Well then look no further than here, from the same thread that 2real4tv quoted:
Being a technology included in PhyreEngine with example source code, I think we'll see this become very common in the future.

No, ps3 hasn't pratically no jaggies; in those shots at least.
It isn't a competition however. I just said ps3 appears more smooth, not '360 jaggies like at hell'
It has nothing to do with competition . I was commenting on the effectiveness of the technique compared to no AA. This game has a softness/blur that might amplify the effectiveness of the AA implementation. Considering the 360 version has little aliasing even with 0 AA I think it could be the case.
This isn't really necessary. I said nothing at all that would deserve a reply like that.
Yah same here. And maybe the DOF is helping out to. That can help out a lot. For example I sure thought I mananged to do SSAA in Stalker until I noticed the DOF, colors and scene softness where fooling me since AA was off. I even had to put my eye onto monitor to capture it!
I simply said there is a difference
If for you not count ok, is just a 'technical' observation.Similar threads
