in the render room, which provides a better render for shadow accuracy and object accuracy.

I have always assumed .5 was better..but now I'm not sure as its backwards to the antialiasing quality setting.  They should be the same order (better toward the bottom of the dropdown)...

???
thanx

yeah, .5 is better.

Friends don't let friends use booleans.

The number relates to size of the pixel sample that is calculated. The more detail, the more quality, that why smaller is better (sometimes :-) Bye!

still think its backwards in order...

:)

if others go from none,good,better,best (from top to bottom)..then these should too.

thanx

Your rendered object accuracy increases as your pixel size decreases.  Sometimes .5 pixels is overkill though and 1 is just as good.  It depends on how close your camera is to the object.

AA has nothing to do with this setting.

Ok, now I understand your question.  You're deciding your setting for quality based on the order of a GUI's drop-down menu rather than on the actual values shown to you in said drop-down menu.  Hmmm....  Some software would never get to beta stage with this line of questioning.
