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.

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
