I have specific objects in a scene that I don't want anti-aliased, while the rest of the scene needs to be. I know there's a way to do this, cuz I've done it before. I seem to have forgotten the magical incantation necessary to accomplish this feat, however. This feature appears to be undocumented in the Bryce manual. Anyone know the magic words? (I need this for an animation with complex volume materials. Anti-aliasing these volume materials means that each 640x480 frame takes about 3.5 hours to render - and this is on a G4. At that rate, the animation will take 12 - 15 days to render. If I can disable anti-aliasing on these objects, render time will be cut by about one-third with little loss in quality) So... who can help this poor, absent-minded Brycer? -sk

You select the object, open the A attributes window. hold down shift and control and close the window. However, so far I've only been able to get it to non antialias one object in a scene, when I'd like it to do several, especially when I'm doing foliage and or water, which often looks better antialiased.

Thanks, bonestructure. I knew it was some weird thing... It's bad enough Bryce has all these unlabelled buttons - but they have to go and have undocumented features as well... ones that don't even HAVE buttons! I'll give it a try... (and I hope I can make it work with about 4 objects). -sk

Everytime someone drops a hint about some of these little gems I hurry up and copy it and put it in a 'tute' file. There are SOOOOOO many 'things' in Bryce--it is just plain hard to keep up with all of them unless you use them all the time--which none of us do. Diane B

now that was a useful link. I don't work with turs's (torii?) very much, but that page showed me how to work with them better. Thanks

Thanx for the ctl-shift tip Bones. This will be a big help to me. If you group multiple objects together it still doesn't work? John.

dunno, didn't think of that
