Main Settings
slider
This allows you to emphasize what kind of
application experience you’d like to have. Moving
the slider to the left will maximize application
performance, while moving the slider to the right
will provide excellent 3D image quality. Moving this
slider from one position to the next changes the
individual Custom Settings sliders found below.
Custom
Settings
checkbox
When Custom Settings is checked, the Main
Settings slider is disabled, allowing you to move
each individual slider in the Custom Settings

you complete control over your application
experience. Using Custom Settings is
recommended for advanced users only.
SMOOTH
VISION II
checkbox
SmoothVision II (Anti-Aliasing) improves image
quality by removing jagged edges from 3D
images, resulting in smoother, more natural-
looking objects.
SMOOTH
VISION II
slider
SmoothVision II (Anti-Aliasing) can be applied
using different sample patterns and sample points
such as 2X, 4X, or 6X. Moving this slider to the
right increases sampling to provide the most
realistic 3D image.
SMOOTH

Anisotropic
Filtering
checkbox
Anisotropic filtering uses a texture filtering
technique that blends multiple texture samples
together. Selecting Application Preference will
result in high quality textures, with a negligible
reduction in the application’s performance.

Anisotropic
Filtering slider
The number of samples taken when anisotropic
filtering is performed can vary. By moving this
slider to the right, as the number of samples taken
increases, the quality of the final image increases
significantly. 16X provides extremely detailed,
crisp-looking images as a result of the largest
number of texture samples possible.
