Getting a crisp, sharp, precise image.

Unity Engine

Sup peeps,

Been experimenting with some art in Unity for a project im considering and its just not happening. Basically when the art is put into unity the edges are either aliased or blurry depending on what AA is used. tried x2, x4, x8 filtering but its still looking bad. Here below you can see the level of quality I am wanting to achieve in unity.

And here is the outcome:

As you can see the edges are blurry and jagged. Why when the art is just dragged into unity does it look so dreadful? this is @8x filtering.

If anyone has any suggestions on what is being done wrong or what should be done that would be brilliant thanks.

Regards

Update on quality from using the method of rendering it big with anisotropic filtering, rending it on screen. Essentially drawing 4times as much. Hoping it wont cause any performance issues due to the fact were not using much on screen anyway, still looking too aliased on the edges tho.

It’s your video card, certain video cards can take shortcuts when rendering anti-aliasing in order to try and pad benchmarks.

I am getting the same kind of output on my web player as you do charlie. I have I think a radeon 7 series, whatever comes with the last years 12-core mac pro model.
