I need help trying to pick out the perfect anti-aliasing settings. I
know that trial and error is a good teacher, but there's also good in

I recently rendered out a DVD res animation that unfortunatly used
some client specified geometry that had many thin lines in it. I used
Enhanced Medium anti-aliasing, but still get crawiling lines all over
the place. We're at 2 hours per frame, which is way too long already. 

Can someone give me some hints on the PLD settings and reconstruction
filters? That a bit more trial and error than I have time for at the
moment. Some general guidelines would be great!

Thanks!


I used to have thos eproblems too, and kept thinking I had to keep raising the AA,
but it turned out that all I really needed to do was to lower the amount under the
Adaptive Sampling/Threshold from .1 to something like .01 or even .001.
Give that a try and see if it helps?
