Hi,
I was wondering if its posible to make a Script that would allow to control the amount of antialiasing on the render.
Currently we can only click to select or deselect the use of antialias on the render. But if we could have something like a slidebar that would allow the use of the right percentage of antialias needed for our renders, that would be very beneficial for rendering times.
Can someone tell me if they can do this Please? or if it can be done at all?
Thanks and happy Xmas!!
Script for the amount of antialiasing

"It should be specific to each layer and be applicable to image layers and well as vector layers. "
I don't think it should be specific to each layer. That would be really painful and time consuming. It should be applied to an entire scene and yes it should work on both image and vector layers.
For example if I had a very big scene with many different layers and I just wanted to use a 30%-50% amount of antialias instead of 0 or 100 it should apply that amount of antialias to everything on the scene.
That would make the render a lot faster but won't drop the quality as much.
Any Programmer out there thinks this is possible? Maybe even something easy to do?
Cheers!

It's definitely not possible with scripting at the moment, as there is no access at all to any of the rendering functionality. This means that you would have to take your request up with Smith-Micro. Of course, it all depends on how popular the request is, whether they decide to implement it or not. The fact that it could speed up rendering times might make them listen a bit more than if it was a purely visual issue, though.
Perhaps a better request would be to open up all of the rendering functionality to scripting. Then your request, as well as many other cool features, would be possible with scripting.
I agree that you wouldn't always want to have to set each layer individually, so it would be good if you could set the default aliasing setting globally, but then still override it on individual layers, should the need arise.
