Resolution & path animating questions.

Hi,

Just wondering which is the best method for enhancing resolution w/ rendering. Apart from using the quality button, does one manipulate the image width and image height parameters while reducing render size? What do the Asp buttons do? Some of my images have a serious case of the “jaggies”.

Also, using a bezier circle as an animation path, deselecting front and back and selecting 3D, how do I view those small “hash” marks along the path which denote speed?

Cheers!

To get rid of the “Jaggies”, you turn on the “OSA” - oversampling - button. The numbers underneath it show how many samples to render per pixel.

The AspX/Y buttons set the aspect ratio of the image - If the AspY is 2x the AspX, for example, the image will appear stretched horizontally.

The reason why you’d do this is that on TV screens the pixels are slightly taller than they are wide (unlike computer screens, where they are square) - so you’d make AspY slightly bigger than AspX (by the same ratio) to cancel out the stretching effect of the rectangular pixels.

The little lines should appear when you choose “3D”, and IIRC they denote tilt rather than speed

Thanks for the help. What is IIRC by the way? I can’t seem to find that.

Heh.

They also denote position on the curve relative to certain time interval. Each lines is spaced by the same amount of time on the path. So in a way, yes, it denotes speed too.
