How to disable sharp edges in the preview?

Post by lazyroll »

https://imgur.com/a/k6oQUEj - Is this a bug or a feature? In a single view it displays the ball with sharp edges, how do I disable that? I've started this project in Debut Trial and now that's what happens when I open it with the full Pro version.

Found it, GPU acceleration did that, weirdly.

It's a way for Moho to optimize performance during animation. In other words, the faceted edges will always render smoothly, so how it looks in the Workspace can be safely ignored. To check this press ctrl-R to create a preview render of the 'faceted' curves.

GPU Acceleration does help make it look more correct in the Workspace but I personally prefer to leave it disabled most of the time because enabling GPU Acceleration can introduce more serious (to me anyway) display issues. BTW, GPU Acceleration affects only how the vectors look in the workspace and has no affect on the actual final render quality.

Hope this helps.
