• Options
• Antialiasing
• Global SuperSampling
• Object Motion Blur
• Image Motion Blur
• Color Range Limiting
• Memory Management

scanlineRender.antiAliasing 

Get/set the state of the Antialiasing checkbox. When set to false, no antialiasing will be performed. Default is true.

scanlineRender.filterMaps 

Get/set the state of the Filter Map checkbox. When set to false, texture maps will not be filtered. Default is true.

scanlineRender.antiAliasFilter 

Lets you get and set the anti-aliasing filter.

For a list of all of the anti-aliasing filters you can say:

   showClass"*:filter*"

EXAMPLE

   scanlineRender.antiAliasFilter = quadratic()

The anti-aliasing filters and their parameters are described in 3ds MaxDefault Scanline Renderer Anti-Aliasing Filters.

scanlineRender.antiAliasFilterSize 

Get/set the antialiasing filter size as a floating point value.

scanlineRender.antiAliasFilterSizeautoReflectLevels 

Global SuperSampling

scanlineRender.enablePixelSampler 

Get/set the state of the Enable Global Sampler checkbox.

Object Motion Blur

scanlineRender.objectMotionBlur 

Get/set the state of the Apply checkbox.

scanlineRender.objectBlurSamples 

Get/set the value of the Samples spinner.

scanlineRender.objectBlurDuration 

Get/set the value of the Duration (frames) spinner.

scanlineRender.objectBlurSubdivisions 

Get/set the value of the Duration Subdivisions spinner.

Image Motion Blur
