Thin lines in Trapcode 3D-Stroke

[Hans Meier]

Hi Dave,

concerning Video I get your point, but I’m working for Computer-Display Output only. So I use square pixels and no interlacing …

Dave,

thank you for your help and your explanation.

One last time – here is my problem…it would look so nice without the steps. 🙁

setting the Feather value to 100 can help.
you could also try to create 1px strokes in a precomp at double resolution, and scale it down in your main comp. maybe use subpixel positioning.

as dave said, the steps will not go away, but it might get better than what you have now.

Try upping the thickness of the line, then thin it back out with the Simple Choker effect. To get a line that is thickness 0.2, start with a line of thickness 1, apply Simple Choker at 0.65, then duplicate the layer to increase the brightness.

Modifying the alpha gamma slightly can help.
