Antialiasing OpenGL Lines

T-SBADV-005-004

Everything you draw in Storyboard Pro is vector-based. When you draw in the Drawing or Camera view, notice that your lines may appear jagged. This is caused by the fast real-time display called OpenGL. If you prefer to see smooth lines as you draw, you can enable the antialiasing preference.

Full scene antialiasing is generated by your computer’s graphics card. This antialiasing will not only antialias your drawings, but all your different views in the interface. Full scene antialiasing is an option you can turn on or off; by default, it is disabled.

There is no need to modify your graphic card settings.

NOTE Full Scene Antialiasing parameters are only valid while you work in your scene. The scene will be rendered to 100% of its resolution regardless of your preference settings or graphic card panel.
NOTE You must restart Storyboard Pro after you change the parameters.
  1. Do one of the following:
  • Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Storyboard Pro 7 > Preferences (macOS).
  • Press Ctrl + U (Windows/Linux) or ⌘ + U (macOS).

The Preferences dialog box opens.

  1. In the Advanced tab, select the Enable option in the Full Scene Antialiasing section.

  1. Number or samples: Enter the number of samples you want to be used for the antialiasing process. The number of samples is basically equivalent to the amount of times a pixel will be enlarged to calculate the antialiasing. This technique is called supersampling. The higher the number of samples, the better the antialiasing quality will be, but the longer it will take to calculate.
  1. Restart Storyboard Pro.
