[Bf-committers] FSAA and Blender

[Bart]

I know different software solutions that can turn FSAA on or off using 
opengl acceleration too.

For the game engine it would be great if having quality features like 
the flash player has:

Low Quality = no FSAA
Medium = full FSAA but not when moving
High = Full FSAA always

May it could be that Shockwave, TNT etc. does FSAA in a software mode 
instead of using driver options.
