Howdy:

I am seriously considering the purchase of an Octane or two, but I am very
concerned about aliasing. Since the next OpenGL machine capable of hardware
polygon anti-aliasing seems to be an Onyx IR at about 4 times the price, I am
thinking about using the accumulation buffer (although I have yet to verify
that the accumulation buffer will be available on the Octane in the rendering
mode our simulator uses).

Hence the question:
Does anyone have any hints/tips/tricks/gotchas/code-snippets/algorithms or just
plain advice on the topic of using the accumulation buffer or similar
techniques on Max Impact/Octane level machines.

Thanks.
