Anti-Aliasing
Anti-Aliasing (AA) is a rendering technique de-
signed to remove jagged edges, shimmering,
and pixelation problems that are common in
rendered 3D images. Rather than determining
the color to display for each pixel by sampling a
single location at the pixel's center, anti-aliasing
samples multiple locations within each pixel and
blends the results together to produce the final
color.
Anti-Aliasing can be set to favor either system
processing performance or image quality, or the
application can decide:
Setting for performance is best used when the
3D image is animated and smooth motion is the
most important consideration.
Setting for quality is best used when highly de-
tailed and realistic 3D objects is the most impor-
tant consideration.
If you are unsure of how to configure anti-aliasing,
use the Use application settings option. Your
display will automatically adjust to the
application's requirements.
Adaptive Anti-Aliasing
Adaptive anti-aliasing is a technique that applies
a combination of multi-sampling (MSAA) and
super-sampling (SSAA) on 3D objects to
improve edge smoothness and fine detail.
This feature renders 3D objects containing trans-
parencies more realistic, providing exceptional
levels of image quality while maintaining
performance.
