This book edge is not cooperating

I need to get rid of the edge on this book…(see top edge of book…) I was advised to use a Mitch filter to get the edge off a mesh plane and it worked well, (this book flys through the air and opens up to reveal that picture…) but the edge on the top of this book is not going away. I have tried…

subsurf to 4 and 5, not really doing anything…
OSA up to 16…helps but still not smooth…
smooth modifier…doesnt do anything really.

What is the best wat to eliminate this? This has to go in front of a expieranced graphic editor, who goes through my work frame by frame. If he sees any rough edges, he gets upset. I didnt ever think this would be that hard to solve…

720 X 486
10/11 aspect ratio…

thanks Jeff

Hi,

I’ve had a hard time replicating such an aliased edge. I managed to get close by increasing the filter size, so try decreasing the filter size next to the Mitch filter option.

Thanks rawpidgeon. Your the one who helped me the other day. That works, but it blurs the emblem on the front cover. I think its a balancing act. I have to leave the mitch high…all the way up, to produce a clean photo-like picture which is what you see when the book opens up. I think I will just try and put the outside cover on a different layer, render it seperatley, and overlay it in the sequence editor. Thanks for your help. Jeff
