[OpenGL] Rendering good looking lines

[chronozphere]

Hey guys

I'm trying to render some geometry and I want to edges to look good. It now looks like this:

You can see the black pixels near the lines. How to make this look better?

I use the following settings:


glEnable(GL_LINE_SMOOTH);
glHint(GL_LINE_SMOOTH_HINT, GL_NICEST);
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glDepthFunc(GL_LEQUAL);

//My lines are a little thicker
glLineWidth(2);


I allready figured that disabling depth testing solved the problem but I rather don't do that, because I don't want to see any lines located behind other geometry.

Can someone help?

Thanks in advance. :)

Try render lines after geometry? The fading to black effect in lines comes when polygons hit the z-buffer caused by lines. However if you render lines infront they may appear almost non visible, and if you disable z-buffer for lines you would see lines that are in hidden backfaces too (this is solvable by manually calculating camera angle with faces ect.. hard).

Try to turn off anti aliasing?
