OK... here's the problem.... Have an image (large-ish size, large-ish dpi), the default render took 6 hours to render on the PC at work .... the antialiasing part of the render however may take a few days on top of that .... and I have several of these I need to do .... Can the effect of antialiasing (the smoothing/blurring of edges) be faked is the question? At the moment, all I can think of is to render at about twice the size (without AA) and then scale the image down to the desired size and let the old resizing (bicubic) interpolation do the rest. This should be a lot faster than waiting for the AA. Or maybe render at twice the size (without AA), apply a little gaussian blur (a pixel or less) and then resize down. Anyone with any experience at this? Anyone with any ideas?
