Hello trueSpacers,

I have the following problem with Yafaray. What ever settings I use, it just refuses to render with AA.
I use tS7.61 with the latest version of Yafaray.
Perhaps someone else had the same problem, hope some of you can help me out.

Cheers.

Hi Buzz can you show the settings you are using?

Hi Jack, how are doing? You're probably the man that could solve this problem.
Here is another render and a screengrab with the Yafaray settings used for that render. And again no AA. I'm not very technical but maybe you can figure this out how and why.

Greetings from Holland.

Here's some stuff about AA in Yafaray. It might explain what the settings mean.

Thanks, Buzz. I've gone back to school to finish my BS degree (doing 16 credits this semester), so haven't had as much time to hang out in the forums of late.

You can see that there is anti-aliasing in the image you posted, so it's mainly just an issue of needing to use more AA passes and/or set the inc number higher. I prefer to use a low AA inc with multiple passes that way it applies the AA more adaptively. The links that Finis gave should help explain the different settings.

Also keep in mind that the number of samples that you use for the material lights will affect the graininess of the light emitted. Final Gather also adds a fair bit of noise. These kind of things will add quite a bit of time to the AA calculations.

Thanks Jack and Finis for helping me out. I guess I need to do some more test renders and try out different settings.
