AA settings which one...

[manta]

Hello All,

This is an area that has always confused me a bit, there are so many AA filters and settings that its impossible to try them all on a render that takes two hours or more, so maybe you could tell me what you normally use, or do you use different settings for different situations, and what would those situations be...

 

I realize this will probably be very subjective, but the more responses I get, I will be able to come up with some kind of general feeling...I hope

 

Thank you,

Bill

Hmmm... guess I'm not the only one confused, 53 people apparently have no idea either...

Hello William,

 

I'll quote Gijs from the Vray Forum, I guess he don't mind. ;o)

 

I tested a few filters using adaptive QMC antialiasing. THe first image has

filtering turned off. As you can see the reflection in the curved chrome front

of the chair becomes jaggy with certain filters. No filter renders the fastest.

 

I also noticed that using Cook-Variable, it gives a smooth result without

blurring the image too much at very few extra rendering time. Unsharp

masking this in Photoshop Makes the image about as sharp as Catmull-Rom

but with less jagged lines, again best noticed in the chrome reflection of the

chair.

 

Hope this'll help you.
