Advanced Hardware Rendering Features inAliasUsing the advanced capabilities of moderngraphics hardware it is possible to produce higher levels of realismwhen using the Hardware Shade functionality within Alias. Thesefeatures enable more accurate reflection mapping and other effectsin hardware. In order to achieve these results in hardware yourgraphics card and driver combination must fully support the OpenGLShading Language (GLSL) which is part of the OpenGL2.0specification. The following table lists features that require GLSLsupport.

Anti-Aliasing Controls andSettingsFullScene Anti-Aliasing (FSAA), DriverControlledGraphicsdriver Anti-Aliasing control is set to override anyapplication settings.
The entire Alias window is anti-aliased.There is no distinction between a OpenGL viewport and rest ofthe application.Benefit:Amount of oversampling only limited by card resources andgraphics memory resulting in extremely smooth shading.Anti-aliased display is persistentDrawback: It isnot possible to toggle anti-aliased display. Can causenoticeable degradation in interactiveperformance.FullScene Anti-Aliasing (FSAA), ApplicationControlledSet Anti-Aliasing control to ‘Application Controlled’ in the Graphics Driver Control Panel, and in Alias, set ‘Hardware Anti-Alias’ to 4x or 8x in the Shaded Anit-Alias Options window (WindowDisplay-Anti-Alias-Shaded Anti-Alias ).
This allows for Alias to use 4x or 8x Full Scene Anti-Aliasing, respectively, from the graphics card. Only modeling windows receive the anti-Aliasing visual and can be toggled ON and OFF.Benefit: Only modelingwindows receive the Anti-Aliased display resulting in lessvisual artifacting. Can be toggled ON and OFF. Anti-aliaseddisplay is persistentDrawback: Can cause milddegradation in interactiveperformance.Camerabased Anti-AliasingAnti-Aliasingis controlled entirely from within the WindowDisplay-Shaded Anti-Alias. Software Anti-Alias optionsand is only applied when Hardware Shade or Diagnostic Shade isenabled. The results are additive to any existing FSAA ifenabled in graphics driver.Benefit: Not dependenton graphics card and can easily be controlled within Aliaswithout restarting.
Various quality settings can easily bespecified for very high qualitysmoothing.Drawback: Anti-Aliasingis only active during idle camera positions. It is disabledduring camera moves and animation (playblasts do receiveAnti-Aliasing). Expect delays when used in conjunction withother Hardware Shade effects. TabletSupportAlias has been tested and confirmed to work withthe Wacom Intuos series of tablets (see driver level below)Active TabletDisplays: Alias has been tested and confirmed to work withthe and Active tablets. A DVIcompatible graphics card is required to use the Cintiq series oftablets.NoteRegarding Dual Monitor Configurations: Dual monitorconfigurations may cause incorrect cursor behavior when spanningmultiple monitors. Autodesk is currently investigating this problemwith Wacom.

At this time there is no solution. DualMonitor SupportIf your graphics card supports dual monitoroutputs please read the following if you are considering using Aliaswith multiple displays. There are two configurations which willaffect Alias performance with dual display output. Not all graphicscards support both configurations.Previous limitations of Alias running onthe secondary display have been improved as of version 2012.
We nolonger restrict the use of Alias on the primarymonitor.Display Mode One:DualviewIn this mode each monitor is runninga separate display running at a resolution which is unique toeach monitor. For example, you can have both monitors set to aresolution of 1280x1024, 1600x1200 etc.Display Mode Two: Horizontal SpanIn this mode the graphics driverinterprets the two displays as one virtual desktop, so if yourun a single monitor at 1280x1024 then the display resolutionin a spanned mode would be 2560x1024.LimitationsWhen usingStudio with two displays, where one display is the WacomCintiq, you cannot run in a spanned mode. To configure yoursystem to use the Wacom Cintiq in a dual monitor configurationfollow these steps:.Uninstallthe Wacom display driver (if you were previously using aregular Wacom tablet).Connectthe Wacom Cintiq to either the first or second graphicsport.Openthe Display Properties, select the Wacom display and setit as the primary monitor.Installthe Wacom display driver.OpenSettingsControl PanelWacom Tablet Properties andselect Calibrate to align the tablet to the Cintiqdisplay.Note: When using a'spanned' desktop without the Cintiq, Alias runs properly onboth displays.
