Zooming into a bitmap, resolution issues

[Rousselos Aravantinos]

-5% is a minor scale down.
maybe u over zooming.
in any case, dont drop ur 3000×3000 back directly in ur main composit.
precompose it in its native resolution and then enable thr continuosly rasterize asterisk in the layer panel.

Now… my respond sounds like none sense for this case.
It would return the same result as if it was directly in.
How is your composite tree?
maybe u do overzooming/

cheers

Not sure I entirely understand your setup for this, but you might want to try clicking the “collapse transformations” layer switch (the little sunshine icon) and see if that helps. If it’s precomped, you’ll want to turn on 3D for the bitmap image in the other composition….

I don’t know the nature of the project, but could you scale up the image to simulate a zoom instead of using the camera? I don’t understand why you have the image scaled down to 5%… Leave it at 100% and pull your camera way back?

It’s only work if you’d rather be doing something else…

For 2D layers, only it’s scale will create pixelation artefacts. For 3D layers, there are many more variables at play – camera position, camera zoom, layer position, layer anchorpoint and scale.

For 3D layers, you will encounter pixelation when all the variables interact with each other such that the result you see (pixelation), means that you have exhausted the original size of your image and are now viewing a version of your original image that is larger than its source.

You can alleviate the pixelation artefact by switching on the camera’s DOF and adjusting the Focus Distance, Aperture and Blur Level properties.
