I don't think that'll work. You get the strange effect that also happens on TV sometimes, because the background will not always be the same.
> In any case, edge AA with sprites isn't a concern to me. I was commenting that as an image, a sprite can be AAed to have smooth details, highlights, and shadows. As far as this being done to voxels, I don't think it's possible unless the game engine itself somehow interpolated and smoothed the edges of the voxel blocks. That's because AA is perceptual to the angle of an object; it's not just a matter of 'blurring' colors together in the voxel itself.
