Antialiasing and VSync - GameMaker Tutorial

[@DragoniteSpam]

Some extra notes:
- There are some other AA algorithms that exist. I might talk about FXAA some day.
- Antialiasing isn't the same as upscaling, like DLSS or FSR.
- MSAA increases the amount of VRAM used, and doesn't play super well with deferred rendering.

Good to see you're still cranking out content! You've helped a lot of folks get going with gamemaker.

Thanks ! I was waiting for antialiasing!

I had gotten screen tearing in game maker before, but it might've been on the vertical axis for some reason, and went away when I reloaded it.

Some of today's more modern monitors have technologies to deal with the "screen tearing" effect, such as Nvidia G-Sync, which may explain why the effect is not visible

Can't speak for anyone else but I'm using a cheap monitor, no VRR or Gsync in sight.

Hello Michael, I was studying a little about how old consoles, like the SNES, created their special effects and I saw that they used a technology called HDMA, which is the ability to change the pixels at the time they are being drawn on the screen, does GameMaker have a native function similar to this or is it only possible to recreate this with shaders, could you make a video about this?😁

Not easily, that's shader territory
