soft Moho export / render

[J. Baker]

See the two images. In Moho 14.3 the brush looks good. When preview / exported, it is very soft. What to do?

The usual difference between preview/project view and final render? You should always do at least a test render before you decide on any brush.

In this case I do not see a work around. The final render is destroying the brush detail.

Been using Moho since version 5 and I did take some time off as I was doing other things. Now back at it with Moho 14 and so far every time I touch it, I run into another issue. Hmm...

how big is the rendered word (in pixels)? Have you got AA on?

[slowtiger]

Hm, I get sharp and crispy results with my brushes. I suspect it's a matter of project dimensions and maybe some other settings?

[J. Baker]

It's written in a 720p video setting. I do not see the anti-aliasing setting where it use to be. Did it get moved?

EDIT: Found it in Project Settings. Yes, it is on.

Here's the file if anyone wants to see.

This is how it looks at my end. Moho 14.1

[J. Baker]

Not seeing an image. Just the word "image."

[hayasidist]

with the test file, the brush "hairiness" IS lost on render here (14.3 Win 10). I've tried with and without AA; increased the line width; rendered to .png and .jpg -- all similar in losing sharpness

[J. Baker]

Yep, that's what I'm seeing. It takes away the effect of the brush. I guess we will have to wait for upper support to see this. It's a little slower these days.

Looks like the render is the same as having GPU caching enabled and a different layer selected.
Since GPU caching is basically turning unselected layers into images, for better workspace performance, it might be equivalent to rendering for image-based brushes.
