Tiled Plane = Super Easy to test Anti-Aliasing

It is really, really clear what my anti-aliasing is doing when looking at the plane fading out into the distance. Below are some images (no shading - it is easier to see the plane approach the horizon without any shading) of different sample rates. Getting the plane to work took a bit of trial and error, but I think it is looking OK.

I used a completely square image that tiles perfectly. Here's the tile pattern I used (thanks Nate Gauntt):







1 sample per pixel = ugly



16 sample per pixel = better



5,000 samples per pixel (yes, 5k - I ran it for 6 hours on a university machine)

That "5000 per pixel" sample is horizontally flipped!
