openGL rendering
i have a basic comp with 3d layers and some motion blur. according to adobe, my card does not support the high fidelity effects like motion blur and anti aliasing. is that why my renders look pretty ugly when i render out using open GL? or will they all look like that ? i am rendering this in 1920×1080 resolution and it renders SOOO much faster than software but looks nowhere as good in the quality.
my question again is, if i get a 3d card that supports the high-fidelity, will my openGL renders look exactly like the software renders? the only option i have is an nvidia 6600 graphics card, as all the other supported ones either are PCI express or take up 2 slots, which my mac’s pci-x slots are already full with video cards and fiber channel.

No. OpenGL renders will never look exactly the same like software renders even with advanced OpenGL features. There are several things that differentiate OpenGL in that respect. E.g. Antialiasing algorithms are much simpler than the ones you can have in software. However, you should see some improvements and depending on what look you are after, even OpenGL can look good. Stay tuned, I’m in the process of compiling some more detailed info that will be available soon.

Any word on when apple is going to released fixed drivers for OpenGL 2.0 or whatever the problem is? The OpenGL in ae7 is way slower than adaptive resolution on my G5…
