Hi romullus,

I really appreciate your help!  I went through and set things exactly as you suggested and it worked perfectly (I've attached an image comparison for anyone interested).  The  suggestion to use the override environment, was that simply to maintain the white surround, or was there another reason I should be aware of?

Thanks!

Blur test @ 0.01

So looking at the test attached, it still seems to be soft, however definitely better.... but still not as sharp as the original.

Hi,

You're right I've not set the blur yet, I'll see what that does and how it affects things!  I was looking into AA and thinking it was something linked to that instead... I guess it could still be?  Anyway, I'll do a test and see.

Thanks!

Hi, I was looking for some advice if anyone could be so kind?  I need 2 versions of an animation I have rendered, one with Glare & Bloom and one without (the latter having already been produced).  To do this I.....

• placed a 16:9 plane in a new scene
• added a material (self illumination set to 1.0) + bitmap attached mapping set to screen
• attached the .exr animation sequence to the material & applied it to the plane
• set a camera pointing to the plane
• in Render Settings I turned on Bloom & Glare, set noise level to 1%, turned off motion blur

     

The results were that the Bloom and Glare was successfully calculated when I re-rendered the .exr sequence, however the overall image was soft. So my questions is...

What settings are needed to ensure the re-rendered animation is as sharp as the original?   

Thanks!
