Using motion vectors that are used for per-object motion blur for instance), we can distribute the multiple fragment evaluation component of supersampling between multiple frames. So what is the temporal supersampling? Temporal supersampling techniques base on a simple observation – from frame to frame most of the on-screen screen content do not change. Even simple, hardware-accelerated techniques like MSAA that do estimate only some parts of the pipeline (pixel coverage) in higher frequency and don’t provide as good results, have quite big cost on consoles.īut even if supersampling is often unpractical technique, it’s temporal variation can be applied with almost zero cost. There are various approaches to even easiest supersampling (I talked about this in one of my previous blog posts), but the main problem with it is the associated cost – N times supersampling means usually N times the basic shading cost (at least for some pipeline stages) and sometimes additionally N times the basic memory cost. Per every target image fragment we perform sampling multiple times at much higher frequencies (for example by tracing multiple rays per simply pixel or shading fragments multiple times at various positions that cover the same on-screen pixel) and then performing the signal downsampling/filtering – for example by averaging. Classic supersamplingĬlassic supersampling is a technique that is extremely widely used by the CGI industry. Visual aliasing can have different appearance, it can appear as regular patterns (so-called moire), noise or flickering. If we don’t (and when rasterizing triangles we always will as triangle edge is infinite frequency spectrum, step-like response) we will have some frequencies appearing in the final signal (reconstructed from samples) that were not in the original signal. According to the general sampling theorem we need to have our signal spectrum containing only frequencies lower than Nyquist frequency. Before I address temporal supersampling, just a quick reminder on what aliasing is.Īliasing is a problem that is very well defined in signal theory. ![]()
