A year ago when I first built my comp.,I turned on AA thru my 4750 ati card. Had problems with random disconnects that was cured when someone said to turn off anti-aliasing. Hope you have better luck than I did.

Thx for the heads-up on the 'skull'.
This thread (and many others) prove you wrong on the other issue. So there. ...

Originally by: Scout Ops I don't see much of a difference... more contrast?
and the letters on the "improved" pic look blurred, this is a consequence of AA. Dude, you dont want a blurred UI whose letter size is ... ehr... tiny.

Anyone have an Nvidia way of setting negative LOD? I couldn't find it in the nvidia control panel ----

Edited by: Guillame Herschel on 07/01/2010 20:01:43 Stars do in fact scintillate when viewed from a vantage point above the atmosphere. But interstellar scintillation is too low frequency to detect with the naked eye. You need to measure the stars brightness over a period of time to detect scintillation caused by interstellar dust and gas.
Planets will twinkle if the diameter of the planet is smaller than about half the size of the atmospheric wave, in angular size. For the smaller-angular-sized naked eye planets (Mars at apogee, Mercury, Uranus) this threshold is often exceeded by ordinary atmospheric turbulence, and those planets frequently twinkle. Jupiter and Saturn are usually larger than this, except when very low on the horizon, or a very unstable air mass is overhead. So they rarely twinkle. Even Venus can twinkle when it is on the far side of the Sun and low on the horizon.
Stars present as an optical point source, and so are always smaller than half the angular extent of any atmospheric wave. So they always twinkle in the slightest turbulence.

Some stars do twinkle, most famously Cepheids. There are other classes of variable stars. Beyond the visible spectrum, there are other classes of variable point sources too that aren't conventional fusion-burning stars.
Anyway, this thread is very cool.

Let me make this very simple for all of you people that say stars dont "Shimmer".
Outside of an atmosphere, you are absolutely right... well half right anyway. Stars do not "flicker" or have a passive "Shimmer" in the visible light spectrum. However there are a -lot- that do shimmer. Most notably in the X-ray and Gamma/Ultraviolet and far IR spectrum.
The only reason most people think stars shimmer or flicker is due to atmospheric distortions and or lensing that our Earth's upper atmosphere creates. Best way to describe it without going into heavy optical physics is to say it's the same exact effect you get when looking through water that's been disturbed.
Now seeing as how our view of eve is through the eyes of an advanced sensor/camera, it's plausible that it's optics are picking up far more than just the visible light spectrum and that can cause flickering or shimmering. HOWEVER we all know it's mainly due to the graphics card's AA/AF Settings, or rather, lack there of!
I hope that cleared a few things up.
And yes - I do know what I'm talking about. Went to college for this type of thing. ----------------------------------------

I want to say something about the "shimmering":
I bought up the topic simply because, at LOD -2 the shimmering (because of the starbox texture becomes too sharp) becomes excessive and affect gameplay.
So in-game, a little bit of shimmering is inevitable if you use this cheat, but that is only because of the sharper texture. That is why everyone will have to find a balance between excess shimmer/stars detail.
Real stars, when viewed in space, I believe, do not flicker at all (with normal naked eye), so to those who are yelling "stars don't flicker" I agree.
But this is a game. We have Nebulas as bright as earth's atmosphere, and we have ships that travel faster than light. Why can't we have shimmering stars to add to the "atmosphere"? :)

I have a question, I am running an X1600 Pro, would this proposed software work with my card? I would like some more info about it, because it does make eve look spectacular.

ok, i'm confused. how do you get the overlay in eve for the 3d settings that you got? plus, where do you even find it to start with? -----
