well you could try upping the resolution...
remember when you render things in your 3d programs your using FSAA and not a optimised game version but an optimised quality version.
Essentically blending all of the object external edges with the textures and background (kinda like a traced blur)

this is highly processor intensive (unless like myself you have a card which has a specific driver to enhance the speed of this)

currently my own efforts to add FSAA to DBP have failed as you can't seem to access DBP's DeviceDriver to update it, you can recreate the device as many times as you like but updating its setting just doesn't work.
i think i know what i have to do for it, but right now i doubt many people would want it for it to be worth the effort.

really you'll just have to put up with it at low resolutions, but surely you've played enough games to already know this?

@sinny

Put this command at the top of your code

SET DISPLAY MODE 1024,768,32

Do you want Windows menus in your DBP apps? - Get my plugin: http://snow.prohosting.com/~clone99/downloads/tpc_menus_103.zip

I'm very curious... Sinny would you mind putting a screenshot here with the 1024,768,32 resolution. I'm curious if the problem is gone then.

you need full screen antialias.
some video cards doesn't support it, others have an option to force it on but is only a "local" result. eg: if you give the exe to your friend an he hasn't a videocard that support full screen antialias, he get /\/\/\/\...

actually most game can have it regardless you just have to run it in software... but then most people use lightmaps and such to add atmosphere so you don't notice the jaggie so much.

still i don't remember my screen looking that bad at 1024x768

Usually, you can overcome that effect by means of a good texture map. Your floor is fine (in fact, that's quite a good wood texture - better in the first image), but perhaps adding a texture to the walls and skirting board would help, or making a tiny bit of shadow around the pictures on the wall.

Without FSAA, it's practically impossible to remove the jagged edges - you can only try to camoflague them. The best thing you can do is play around with different texture/lighting setups until you find something that works well. Good luck!

Full-Scene Anti-Aliasing... it means the entire screen is effective soft blurred within 2x (2pixels) 4x (4pixel) 8x (8pixels)
allowing edges to smooth out better against the backgrounds.
but with good textures that don't contrast you'll notice them less
