opengl skybox

Post by timmy »

when i display a skybox with opengl (1024x768:32)it looks like crap, it's like really grainy. Yet when i use directx9(1024x768:32) it looks great. I am using a radeon card with catalyst 4.8 driver. any ideas?

force the renderer to use 32 bits:

Code: Select all

driver->setTextureCreationFlag(ETCF_OPTIMIZED_FOR_QUALITY,true );
or:

Code: Select all

driver->setTextureCreationFlag(video::ETCF_ALWAYS_32_BIT,true);

ATI is known for its weak OpenGL drivers. They say they'll be better in the next Catalyst release :).
