  • 1.  XPression - Pixelated font edges

    Posted 01-19-2016 21:58

    Hi all,

    Producing something in XPression however I am having problems with the anti-aliasing. The font edges are very jagged and unusable. However I think it might just be some feature I don't have on.

    What I have done here is masked the text out with some changes to the Alpha Blending in the text's material. Could that exacerbate the jagged font edges?

    Here is an example of what I have made.

    Any input is helpful.

    What is the font size of that particular font? Is it a very small font that you've scaled up the text object very large? (This will cause jagged edges).

    @bford I tried to get ahead of that, no the font size is 453px and has been scaled down.

    If you upload the scene I could take a look for you.

    @bford I have uploaded it to the Brick FTP, XPP named "Bleacher Report_JaggedText"

    How does this look? I just changed the blending mode to Add instead of Subtract. I think all of the antialiasing was being removed when using subtract (everything was becoming negative and getting clipped at 0).
