It would be really nice to see support for different anti-aliasing types

I’ve to agree here. Temporal AA is essentially the best thing out there which was ever done with pixels. Saying that I’m just loving it, would greatly underestimate the amount of joy seeing absolut rock-solid pictures in motion with amost no pixel crawling left. Yes, it’s that great. Oh, and it’s fast as well.

It may be a little blurry when used in a VR headset compared to FXAA,but the horrible flickering still left over from FXAA is no alternative for me. Currently, there is simply nothing which can compete with that, even TXAA doesn’t give you that kind of image quality without crushing your GPU with massive supersampling.

The only real problem for me with TXAA is blurriness on 3D Widgets. Sometimes 3D widgets are the only way because you want to overlay particles on your widgets which isn’t supported in UMG, so you have to go 3D with it. Other times, 3D widgets are a design choice. Objects can’t have AA turned off for them, so you either have to live with the blurriness (which just doesn’t work for some applications), use FXAA (which is vastly inferior), turn it off entirely (not ideal below 4k) or write your own AA solution (out of the realm of possibility for some people).

I really hope we get more AA options, like selective AA, though I’m not sure how feasible something like that would actually be. Failing that, more AA methods would be great, even if I have to buy it separately in the marketplace. Now there’s a marketplace suggestion!

FWIW TXAA with SSAA (Super Sampling AA eg. Screen Percentage 200%) gives a nice blend of softness and and crispness. I’m coming around on TXAA, it’s definitely valuable. But let’s say a 1920x1080p screen, run that with TXAA and SSAA2x (Screen Percentage 200%) and everything looks “sweet”.

I know that for gamers, SSAA (eg. MFAA in Nvidia Maxwell) is what many like, from my anecdotal knowledge. SSAA not only helps antialiasing but definitely increases image quality (in a “brute force” but nonetheless impressive way).

The fact that UE4 can deliver SSAA 1.5X or SSAA 2X with TXAA regardless of video cards… I believe it is something very, very valuable for gamers.
