frederik.......is it possible to increase the AA of the alpha mask preset?

Ultimatez 32

Are there any render tutorials on twilight? I've seen a lot of great renders done with twilight (including this one )

olishea

twilight for this particular one.

I used exterior progressive to flint template. spherical sky and sunlight enabled (although I added sky back in PP cos it was a bit distorted)

(previous renders were podium biased for speed)

Very striking images, I like them a lot. Great job!

In my knowledge no, but if you render alpha mask with 2-3x greater resolution and scale it down in photoshop, you will get AA + Supersampling.

olishea

ahh ha!

thanks good idea

olishea

yeah......the manual lol

this was very easy to setup, like 5 mins to setup the render (lots more time to model) and 15 hours to render it, although I could have stopped it a lot sooner.

See the youtube transition here:

If it's for replacing the background, have you tried this with a big plane instead?

Hey Oli,

Thanks for all the great images. You mentioned you use a technique called "sub-smooth". Can you fill me in on what that is exactly or point me in the direction of a forum that can help me learn. Thanks so much.
