Hi there. I'm very new to DB. Looking for help with resolution. Even though my monitor is set at 1280x960, my DB stuff looks terrible. a Sphere has "jaggies galore". I can't figure out how to increase the resolution of my programs. I'm using a good Voodoo card, so high res should be available. I tried playing with the "Set Display Mode", but that just changes the window size on the screen. Help!!

Thanks,
Mike Cherry

For sake of space spheres are made with a low poly count (crudely put as "jaggies"). There is a way to increase it by making a mesh out of the object, but it seems unneccessary.

Since almost no 3d games use basic shapes for objects, dark basic doesn't really care if their sphere is perfect. If you really want, build a sphere with a higher face count in another program and import it as .x
