Hello, I am working on an animation using lights behind an object. When I enable the light cone and render, I get jaggies around the object that the light is behind. Anyone know how to fix this or what is causing it? I have all the rez settings cranked and anti-alias on "best" as well... just can't figure it out. Any ideas? Thanks.

This is a known problem that apparently wasn't fixed in the C2 patch. Outside of rendering really large and resampling down (which I know isn't feasible in an animation), there's not much you can do. Guess we'll have to wait for another patch.

Was this bug around in the metacreations 1.0 days? If it was, I wouldnt hold my breath for a fix....

Patrick said it right ... but resampling a movie IS feasible with Carrara and Photoshop . Here's how : - render your animation in Carrara at a large size . Use fast AA, you rarely need better than that if you're resampling then . - export it in a sequenced image format . All the images of the anim will be saved in a folder . - create an action in Photoshop that resizes down, saves and closes an image . - now, photoshop can apply the resampling action to all the images of the animation in a batch process - you can get the animation back in Carrara by importing it as a sequenced image animation . Then, you can export in another animation format for convenience . Voila :) . I guess you can do this more easily with After Effects and the likes, but even if you only have Photoshop you can still do it ! And, well, i have little hope to see this jaggies problem fixed in a patch because the post-render filters of Carrara are generated from the G-buffers and they're not anti-aliased :( . But who knows ?... Later, litst
