I had the challenge of trying to get some type of anti-aliasing in a project that uses the winforms method of XNA 4 that was being run on a laptop in REACH mode. My first step was figuring out a method to use. I found quite a few shader based methods available, but I could get none of them to work. FXAA written by a engineer at NVIDIA seemed like the best option, so I went with that. I wrote up a question on Stack Overflow to see if anyone could help. Eventually with enough research and …playing around… with the code I have it functioning. Here is an example to help anyone who might be interested in doing the same thing. —————————————————- I’m using this example project’s XNA 4.0 form control in an application I’m writing: http://creators.xna.com/en-US/sample/winforms_series1 If you are unfamiliar with FXAA, check out the creator’s site: http://timothylottes.blogspot.com/2011/03/nvidia-fxaa.html I’ve spent quite a bit of time so far trying to figure out to use it without any luck...
Currently ChatGPT is in a free “initial research preview” . One of its well known use cases at this point is generating software code. I’ve also just used it to write most of this article… Well, actually a future article about cleaning up SRT subtitle files of their metadata faster than I have been by hand with Notepad++ and its replace functionality. Update: I recorded a screencast of writing the SRT subtitle cleaner application loading and processing portion. I relied heavily on ChatGPT for code. It was a fun process! https://youtu.be/TkEW39OloUA ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is a powerful language model that can assist developers in a variety of tasks, including natural language processing and text generation. One such task that ChatGPT can help with is creating an SRT cleaner program. SRT, or SubRip Subtitle, files are commonly used to add subtitles to video files. However, these files can become cluttered with unnecessary information, such as timing lines or blank spaces. To clean...
