I decided to test anti-aliasing settings in Vue 4 today. This setting is available under User-settings in the Render Options dialog.

The above picture is the result of 25 test renders, using different Standard anti-aliasing settings. The rows are arranged by the 'Quality threshold' (top to bottom: Fast to Best) and the columns are arranged by '...subrays per pixel' (left to right: 2, 6, 12, 18, 25).

The image is lit by one distant white light with 30 degrees softness and no ambient light.

One reason I got into User Settings was because the softness was gritty when I was using Final render quality. I believe my default Final settings were 9 rays and around 40% quality.

In conclusion, if one wishes to trade time for quality, Vue can produce high-quality results.
