I have enabled MSAA. It works fine without post-processing effects such as lens flare.

the problem comes when i enable the postprocessing effects lens flare. I lose all the antialiasing and some artifacts in the image. Debugging also shows this

I create render to textures with msaa enabled. I will create classes for render to texture mechanism in the future. this is just for testing.

I know why that happens. cos i dont use Texture2DMS in shader. I just want to know how to use ResolveSubresource in this scenario? Any thoughts?

I fixed the problem by resolving MSAA Texture into non-MSAA Texture using ResolveSubresource and used in the lensflare shader.

ok good, now is the future, so “I will create classes for render to texture mechanism in the future.” ?

have fun ?

This is how I did it.

1st Step - Render the scene to a MSAA Texture(DST2D)

2nd Step - Resolve above MSAA Texture into Non-MSAA Texture

RE_D3D11_ImmediateContext->ResolveSubresource(LFUST2D(non msaa), 0, DST2D(msaa), 0, DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32A32_FLOAT);

3rd step - Postprocessing on a Non-MSAA RTV (passing LFUSSRV )

4th Step - Final Draw on a MSAA Texture(RE_D3D11_RenderTargetView_Main) passing SRVs for processing LFUSSRV, LFGSRV

That's it. ?
