Which AA Filter...

Chris2005

... do you recommend?

finalRender has Area as the default filter, but out of this list, which do you recommend?



That's what I've been using, is the default filter... but again which do you all recommend?

Is that good for stills and animations?

Never tried...

So, what are the pros and cons of the filter, I want everything to look not to sharp, but not to blurred.

It all depends on the look you're going for really, but generally you probably want to use blurring filters (area, cubic, quadratic, video) for animations (to minimise flickering), so Catmull-Rom (a sharpening filter with edge detection) may not be the ideal choice for an animation.

Thanks.

These are VRay examples, maybe they can be useful anyway:

I've used Cook Var at 1.5 and it's pretty good. I like to use Mit-Net for stills but it's sharp. I'd do a few renders test and see what you like. Some renderers like brazil have a lot less options. As the vray link shows in Example 9, you really have to watch out for tiny details or long thin lines producing moire effects. I'd test it on one of your ships flying by with lots of little details and see which comes out the best. Also turing on motion blur might help to get rid of artifacts you might see.

I usually add motion blur using AE and a velocity pass.
