Rendering game sprites

[leif3d]

If you are rendering sprites with the hardware render buffer(which is my favorite) under Window > Rendering Editors > Hardware Render buffer..., then they should have no AA by default unless you turn it on with multy pass rendering...and in the Hardware Renderer you should have Accelerated Multi sampling off. Hope that helps.

Once i do the hardware render, all the alpha parts show up behind the non-alpha parts. Anyone know how to fix this?

Heres a screencap of what i am talking about. The left picture is the viewport image, thats where the problem is, but the right is when i render(everything renders fine).

In the maya software render settings under Color/Compositing, untick Premultiply and turn up Premultiply Threshold to 1. If you render with maya software onto a black background you should get hard edges for an old game engine.
What game engine are you using? Most 2D engines have been able to use the alpha fine for the last few years, making the edges look really nice.

Thanks,

Alright that took away the AA, but it left one problem, most of the leave texture went bye bye. Heres a picture: http://garagecreativity.com/dkseries/My_Work/compare2p.png
