Render Quality

The Render Quality options let you control the quality of the rendered image by setting the level of anti-aliasing. Anti-aliasing removes the jaggies on the edges of objects within the image. In Bryce, Anti-aliasing is performed using a super-sampling method. This means that for every pixel that's ray-traced, more than one ray is used to determine the pixel's color. The increase in rays increases the quality of the ray-traced object and the render time as well.

Anti-aliasing can greatly improve the quality of your image, but it is time-consuming. It can also eliminate some desired roughness from high frequency textures. anti-aliasing is performed on the last pass of the rendering process.

There are four quality modes available in Bryce:

• Default
• Regular
• Super
• Premium

To set the quality mode:

• Click the triangle icon beside the Render controls, point to Quality and choose a quality mode from the menu.
  
  
• Alternatively, click the triangle icon beside the Render controls and click Render Options.
  
  
• Click one of the quality modes at the top-left corner of the dialog, then click on the OK icon to exit the dialog.
