  • Is it possible to create and animate shapes WITHOUT anti-aliasing?

    Just trying to save myself some time while animating some pixel art. Anyway I can create shape layers and somehow “turn off” the anti-aliasing?

    Toggle the quality switch to “Draft” Its the diagonal line in the Switches column.

    Tried that :). It works in the timeline, but in the final render everything is still nice n’ crispy as I think the quality switch is just to speed up things in the timeline. I need, of course, a way to render things out without anti-aliasing as well. But thank you for the response!

    Are you rendering to Best quality, cause you would need to render the graphic at “Current”

    Another way to do it would be to just add a mosaic effect to your graphic and set the blocks to 1/2 to 1/4 of your current resolution.
