Filtering Rollout (ART Renderer)

The Filtering rollout contains settings to control noise and anti-aliasing for the ART renderer.

• Main Toolbar > Render Setup > Render Setup dialog > Select ART Renderer from Renderer list > ART Renderer panel > Filtering rollout
• Rendering Menu > Render Setup > Render Setup dialog > Select ART Renderer from Renderer list > ART Renderer panel > Filtering rollout
• Keyboard > F10 > Render Setup dialog > Select ART Renderer from Renderer list > ART Renderer panel > Filtering rollout

Interface

Noise Filtering group

Noise filtering can completely eliminate noise from the rendered image, but at the cost of some detail. The noisier the image, the more detail lost.

The filter strength enables mixing filtered and unfiltered images.

Enable

Filters noise from the rendering.

Filter Strength

The Filter Strength scroll bar and Strength field control the percentage noise is filtered, where 100% is noise-free and 0% includes all noise.

Tip: 100% is useful for creating drafts as it is noise-free. 50% is useful for final frames as it reduces the noise significantly while preserving most detail.

Anti-Aliasing group

Filter Diameter

Sets the diameter of the anti-aliasing filter. Increasing this value adds some blurring to the rendered image but smooths harsh (aliased) edges.
