Saw teeth edges when using extrusion depth and 3d in AE

Are you viewing it at 1:1 (100%)?

Can you render a high res JPEG and post.

Maybe your viewer is set to a lower res.

[Christofer Kellgren]

Well, the picture i posted is a printscreen of the rendered video (h.264). It will look the same in edit mode in AE (visualising the result quit accuratly)

Heres the result i will have when i just render a jpg-frame from AE. 😐

Have you got a flat version of your image, without any 3D?

If so, make your layer 3D, then set the comp to use Cinema4D render. Then expand the properties and you’ll see Geometry options. In there is an Extrusion property which you can animate.

[Christofer Kellgren]

Yes, this is what i have done. But the problem is the resolution/saw-theeth edges i will have in the final render.
Can it perhaps, be something with the camera position/setting?

Was this from an Adobe Illustrator vector file?

That’s the oddest anti-aliasing I’ve ever seen from a render.

[Christofer Kellgren]

Yes, originaly but converted to shape layers.
Heres a picture of the scene, and the layer panel. “Layer 2 outlines” is the shape layers.

Any chance you can send me the AEP file?

Check the CINEMA 4D Renderer’s options. This is accessible either by clicking on the CINEMA 4D renderer selector in the lower right corner of the viewer panel, and then choosing “Renderer options…”, or by opening your comp settings, navigating to the 3D Renderer panel, and clicking the Options button.

Inside the C4D renderer options screen, there’s a quality slider. It looks like yours might be turned all the way down. I think the default setting is 25, but you can increase it for better fidelity renders at the cost of longer render times.

[Christofer Kellgren]

Thank you, that solved the problem!

I thought that setting where just for preview purposes. Is there any panel that can manage the entire project (so you can work in lower fidelity and that just switch one buttom. Instead of doing it in every comp before rendering)?

Attaching a img of the selector.
