RE: No anti aliasing while navigating?

2013-06-18 Thread John Voltaire Tensuan
In 2014, the built-in AA is disabled by default when you are interacting with 
the viewport and unfortunately there is no option to revert to the old 
behavior. If you are on Windows with an NVidia/ATI card and fairly recent 
drivers, you should be able to get around this forcing the driver to enable AA 
all the time:

NVidia Cards:

1)  Open up the Nvidia control panel (from Control Panel or by right 
clicking on the desktop)

2)  Click on Manage 3D settings

3)  Open up the Program Settings tab

4)  Click on Add

5)  Find the Softimage executable (by default it should be in C:\Program 
Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2014\Application\bin\xsi.exe)

6)  You should now see settings specific for Softimage only, find the 
setting Antialiasing - Mode and change it to Override any application 
setting

7)  Select your preferred AA level in Antialiasing - Setting

8)  Click on Apply


ATI Cards:

1)  Open up the Catalyst Control Center

2)  Click on 3D Application Settings (where it is located depends whether 
you are in the Standard View or Advanced View)

3)  Uncheck the Use application settings under the Anti-Aliasing group 
and check the check box on its right

4)  Select your preferred AA level.

5)  Click on Apply

For ATI cards, you won't have per-app settings so you'll need to revert to the 
default settings if you want to use a different 3D app. If you can't find the 
NVidia Control Panel or the Catalyst Control Center, you are probably using the 
drivers that came with Windows and you'll have to update them to a more recent 
version.

Hi list,
I turned on the High Quality viewport in SI 2014 in my scene to get 
anti-aliasing. But the anti-aliasing only works when the camera is stationary. 
As soon as start navigating, I get the old pixelated mess. I want it to be 
enabled all the time, not just when I stop navigating. What gives?

Thank you
