Problem with white anti-aliasing on image capture and screen display

[Paul_Stary]

I find anti-aliasing counter-productive on anything with a dark background, as the anti-aliasing artifacts that are created are white. This looks worse in most cases than turning anti-aliasing off.

Here is a magnified corner of my model without AA, a sign with a graphic (decal) applied. 

Without Anti-Aliasing

Here is the same corner with AA. Note the white dots and lines added to the borders.

With Anti-Aliasing

Here is the full model, a triple-screen display system with image decals applied to the screens and graphic panels above. The anti-aliasing is horrible and cannot be used for these images.

A closeup...

Is there a way to change the color of the AA effect? If not, does it make sense to add this option or am I missing something about how AA works?

Thanks.

Hi @Paul_Stary

Thanks for posting! It looks like you are experiencing a known issue with anti-aliasing in Fusion 360. This behavior has also been described on this forum thread, and is logged internally as FUS-34544. We appreciate your input on this behavior!

Unfortunately, apart from avoiding the use of anti-aliasing, there is not a great solution for this behavior at this time. I've made a note of your comments on our development teams ticket on this behavior in hopes of increasing the priority. Please let me know if you have any questions - I am happy to assist. I think the idea to define a color for anti-aliasing would be a great addition to the Fusion 360 Ideastation!

Hi @paul.clauss 

Is the Anti-Aliasing only depends on the F360 Anti-Aliasing feature capabilities or does it also depends on the Graphics Card?

In other words, How much the Graphics card can improve on the Anti-Aliasing?

My Graphics card is AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 and if I'll switch it to something else will it help?

Cheers / Ben
