Losing AntiAlias while using Primal Particles FX

Post by Engelskrieger79 »

Is there any way or workaround to keep Antialiasing on Objects that are in front of an Primal Particles FX - Object?

Primal Particles is somehow a post-processing feature : it applies after the meshes are rendered. This is why you get no antialiasing even if you select Antialiasing 4x in the render settings.

Depending on your scene, I see two different workarouds :

1. Double the resolution of your rendering, then reduce the animation size in your video edition software (this will behave like a 2x antialiasing).

2. Try to render in two times : first render your foreground objects only on a transparent background (use PNG or TGA32 files to keep transparency), then render the background and your PPFX effect. Next, blend the two animations in your video editor.
