CMAA2 (Anti-Aliasing)

Conservative Morphological Anti-Aliasing 2 (CMAA2) is an anti-aliasing solution focused on providing good results while retaining the sharpness of the image at minimal execution cost.

It is very important to understand that some anti-aliasing methods can look great on some projects and not so great on others. So please take a look at the following feature list.

Pros:

• Works at a current frame only (no pixel jittering, no ghosting)

• Sharp and "old school" look (similar to SMAA)

• Supports both Deferred and Forward renderers

• Supports DX 11 & DX 12

• Supports Split-screen & PC VR

• Small performance cost (comparable to native TAA)

• Extra sharpness mode

• Quality presets

• Lightweight

Cons:

• Does not smooth out undersampled effects (noise from GI, Reflections etc.)

• Small subpixel details can still create some shimmer (Nanite meshes, dense foliage etc.)

• Not designed to be upsampled from Screen Percentage lower than 100%

• Vulcan is currently unsupported (working on it)
