Wow I had a great idea a little while ago. So here it is a way to get super smooth graphics!

make 2 cameras one just a little ahead of the other
Get screen imageof camera two) [set camera to image.]
blur the image
put the image as a sprite over the screen!(camera 1)

so will it work???(problably not huh, too slow...)

Probably - the blur command itself isn't particularly quick. However, it might be possible to write your own fast box-blur system with a DLL or something.

Besides, most mainstream 3D accelerators have built-in edge antialias. ATI's is called Smoothvision and I don't know what nVidia's is called. Unfortunately, both of them will cut a framerate down by about 1/3.

nVidia's is called IntelliSample (for GF1-4) and High Sample Texelator (but also called Advanced IntelliSample) for GeForceFX.

unforuntely i've tried for month to setup the system in a way that automatically turns on the FSAA features - unfortunately the only working verison i could get was a seperate EXE that you'd have to run before you initiated the DirectX within DBP and then run again when you quit DBP.

guess you'll just have to wait for DBS to release this feature natively... and doing it how you suggest would just be too slow to be useful
