Title: AA tips
Post by: lef on 2017-07-24, 11:17:42

hello there!
I am a new corona user (but with 10+ years of experience in vray)
and although I am really happy with corona's results , speed etc
I am getting a bit smooth results and I was wondering if the AA default settings
aren't enough or something ...
I surely can fix the ''sharpen issue'' in photoshop but I would like to see what corona can achieve too !
I am guessing that if I decrease the texture's blurring from material editor I will have some sharper images
but I would love to hear some other tips !

thanks in advance

Using the corona Sharpen tool in VF'b can be blunt but effective way to get your results.

Just install 1.6.1 ;) and also you can try all image filters with values from 1 ~ 3.
If you want sharper details in textures and objects which are in far distance, you need to increase total number of passes. e.g. if you increase passes from 100 - 400 it also increase render time...so you need to decrease 4times GI vs. AA balance. You will get approximately same RT, same GI quality, but better AA.
