no crisp vector shapes in editmode

Post by nils »

Hi,

Does anyone know how to maintain a crisp vector shape while editing at frame zero.
I am working on a character but somehow the face looks blurry. The face is in a bone group. When i select the individual layers in that group the vectorshapes on that layer have sharp edges . I want all the layers to look as sharp as the rest of my character when i'm working on the face features. does anyone have a clue?

Changing display quality does not help. am i doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Do you have GPU acceleration or antialaising checked in your Display Quality window?

Yes i had GPU acceleration on, i unchecked it and the vectors looks sharp again. Thanks!

Weird effect tough, why would it affect only the layers within the group layer with a mask and not everything else?

Well thanks anyway for your help!

It's just a screen preview effect, so it shouldn't affect your render whether it's on or off. In general, I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

Also, the actual quality may be dependent on your graphics card or driver version. FWIW, I usually have GPU Acceleration disabled because it can cause odd screen results with certain masking techniques. On the other hand, if you have a lot of high-res textures and you really need to see them on-screen in high detail, GPU Acceleration can be faster. (Assuming you have a suitable amount of RAM for your graphics card of course.) Again, this doesn't affect final rendering though so I wouldn't worry too much about how it looks in preview.

Yeah, its the GPU setting, I get the same on my geforce GTX 960 card, but not on my Quadro, maybe a drivers thing, who knows, I also find it annoying to be honest, as GPU never worked well with my GTX cards, even the old ones!

YOu know you can customise the way the gpu renders the display in moho ( to a degree ) by going to the Nvidia control panel/manage 3d settings and select Moho etc. etc.

i have GTX 1080, and adjust in nvidia control panel best setting for moho 12.. but
still no crisp vectors !!
only when i unchecked the "use GPU" everything went fine.
i guess GTX not going to help much on the animate stage.

does this will affect render time also ?

GPU only helps with drawing in the workspace, by making unselected layers bitmaps. This has nothing to do with renders.
