In this Vulkan deep dive, we'll go over a simple but important technique - anti-aliasing. FXAA is a popular
|
|
|
|
|
and cheap choice for a post-processing AA solution, but SMAA is another popular option used in many games. Not only is it
|
|
|
|
|
cheap (but not as cheap as FXAA), it's also extremely easy to implement. It has a HLSL and GLSL version, but of course
|
|
|
|
|
we're just worrying about a Vulkan implementation here.

Compared to FXAA, SMAA requires extra post-processing passes, let's go over all of them and their purpose.
