Select your camera -> Item Properties ("p" key) -> AntiAliasing drop down menu -> Select one of the items there. Usually, pld 3-pass is good enough for a quick render.

hehehe the funny part about this thread is that i know loads of people that know AA settings inside out but they cant model a fraction of what you did there :)

keep it up.

Here it is with anti-alias, makes a huge difference, can't believe I didn't know about this.

make sure to experiment with the diffrent AA settings and "kinds" of AA. For your scene you might try just using interpolated classic on low or medium to get arid of the edges... helps keep the render times down...

Thanks for the help :), a question though, I know there's different settings like Medium, medium high, but what do you mean by "Kinds" of AA? And what does interpolated mean :)

you should have them in camera properties/antialiassing if you're using lw8+ (i guess it appeared first in 8.0)

Yeah I have anti-aliasing, but dunno what interpoling is :)

Ok. These are in camera properties
first one is antialiasing , and second one is reconstruction filter. I really don't have enough technical knowledge to explain reconstruction filters.
I don't even know where/when to use them either. All i can say is Gaussian (and some others in recons. filter ) make things blurry. This is all of my wast knowledge in those thingies.:)
Good luck.
