[Paraview] anti aliasing

[Moreland, Kenneth]

For what it's worth, real-time anti-aliasing rendering has been turned off in ParaView because it wrecks havoc with many of the features involving rendering including picking, parallel rendering, transparency rendering, and tiled large image screen shots.  Like Vincent suggested, if you need a high-quality screen shot, make one that is larger than you need (ParaView can generate arbitrarily large screen shots) and then shrink it to the size you want using an appropriate smoothing filter (most simple image viewing programs have this feature).  If the aliasing is really bothering you while you are using ParaView, get a larger display and sit farther back. ;)

Hi,

I don't know how to activate anti-aliasing directly in image file output process, but a way to achieve it is to render with an increase resolution (let's say double ligns and columns, i.e. x4 on pixel numbers) and after to externally resize the image files.

Anti-aliasing done by the resizing process, which can be automated with many free softwares, generally produces good results.

Regards, Vincent

Hello,
I would like to use anti-aliasing on my scenes that I create in ParaView and output as image files. I have included 3D-models (.stl triangulated surfaces) in the scenes but they look rather poor in certain camera positions without anti-aliasing. I haven't found out how to activate this in ParaView though.
