Multisample Anti-Aliasing (MSAA)

Multisample Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) is a technique used in computer graphics to improve image quality. When rendering scenes, jagged edges can appear on curves and diagonal lines, known as aliasing. MSAA addresses this by sampling each pixel multiple times at different points, capturing more detail of edges. It then blends these samples to create smoother transitions, reducing jaggedness. This results in more realistic and visually appealing images without significantly impacting performance. Essentially, MSAA makes edges look cleaner and less pixelated, enhancing the overall visual experience in games and other graphics applications.
