To achieve high-quality graphics, especially in deferred shading, modern anti-aliasing techniques have evolved significantly. Here are some modern techniques that are compatible with deferred shading:

1. Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA)

TAA uses samples from both the current frame and past frames to reduce aliasing effects. It is particularly suited to deferred shading as it helps address the aliasing introduced by the lighting process and works well with dynamic reflections and shadows.

2. Subpixel Morphological Anti-Aliasing (SMAA)

SMAA is an advanced edge detection algorithm that offers superior results compared to traditional MLAA. It works at the sub-pixel level, which makes it adept for deferred shading, offering good balance between performance and quality.

3. Multi-Sample Anti-Aliasing (MSAA)

Although traditionally used with forward rendering, MSAA can be adapted for deferred rendering by selectively applying MSAA during specific passes, like the geometry pass, to reduce edge aliasing.

4. Screen Space Anti-Aliasing (SSAA)

SSAA renders at a higher resolution and downsamples to the display resolution, providing excellent quality. However, it can be performance-intensive. It can be used with deferred shading by applying it to specific buffers or using it judiciously to manage performance.

5. Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing (FXAA)

FXAA is designed for real-time applications and works by smoothing out the aliasing after a scene is rendered. It's effective, fast, and can be applied to the final image in deferred rendering.

6. Enhanced Subpixel Morphological Anti-Aliasing (SMAA T2x)

This is a combination of SMAA and TAA to exploit the advantages of spatial and temporal sampling, making it a strong candidate for deferred shading techniques.

These techniques are often chosen based on the specific performance constraints and visual fidelity requirements of the project. For more in-depth technical details on implementing these methods, developers can refer to resources like graphics programming blogs, GPU documentation, and SIGGRAPH papers.
