Antializing

Is there a way of turning off or controlling antializing in AS

EDIT: It's ok,...found it in export animation settings...

I wonder why AS does not display an unantialized image in the render display panel when it's turned off????

Is this a bug?

Cheers

Isn't the F5 preview unantialiased?

Wow!!! I never knew about the f5 preview!!! Thanks....

The preview I was referring to is is ctrl/r. There is antializing on it when it is set to off on the animation export options.

The f5 preview is a bit small to tell if theres antializing there or not. Funny I never knew about the f5 one....AS is so quick to render it never occurred to me that there should be a movie preview function.

The F5 preview is done at half dimensions, so if you double your usual output dimensions, you'll get a bigger preview.

:wink:

The ctrl+R render does not use the settings from the export animation thingy. I think it just defaults to the "standard" settings.

I think it SHOULD use the export settings though. That would be very nice.

Actually the f5 preview is antialized even if the animation settings are set to none. I just made a double size preview to confirm.

But I was sure it didn't. Maybe that's for images only. I was sure I remembered someone posting pics a Winston unantialiased.

Here's a screenshot....it looks antialized to me. I have antializing set to none though.

I'd been looking for something like the F5 preview too. This should be in the menus, so you know it's at least available, even if you press f5 all the time :)

Whilst trying the F5 preview, I hit command-F5 and got the voice over!

What is the thinking behind that? Can anyone say?

That's a MacOS thing, not an Anime Studio thing - you'd have to ask Apple.

Just to clear something up: the settings you get with Export Animation, like antialiaing on/off, shape effects on/off, layer effects on/off, etc. all apply to just the animation you are about to export. They have no effect on the File->Render command - that command always runs with the default settings. However, maybe there should in fact be a tie-in between the two.
