3D Standard View
You can use 3D settings to adjust features

found in such 3D applications as graphic-
design and CAD programs and games.

This page is useful when you are not aware

of which type of 3D settings your application
uses, or when you want to use an overall
adjustment control that rapidly configures
your application.

„

Standard Settings

The Standard settings page provides access
to a universal slider control where you can
simultaneously adjust all of the standard 3D
settings for any type of 3D application. The
slider enables you to adjust for overall system
performance, overall 3D image quality, or a
balance between the two.

Anti-Aliasing

Anti-Aliasing is a technique used to smooth out
the jagged edges of three-dimensional curved
objects or objects with diagonal edges.
Anti-aliasing can be set to favor either an increase
in system processing performance or improved
image quality:
Setting for performance is best used when the 3D
image is animated and smoothness of motion is
the most important consideration.
Setting for quality is best used when having highly
detailed and realistic 3D objects is the primary
concern.
If you are unsure of how to configure anti-aliasing,
use the Let the Application Decide option. Your
display will automatically adjust to the application's
requirements.
