hi there,

I've been working on a project with some very specific bricks. I made a procedural brick texture, the one on entrance level.
http://www.dickf.dds.nl/anti.JPG
Left is with antialiasing set to best, but this has a huge rendertime
right is with antialiasing set to geometry, acceptable rendertime, but the moiree in the brick is to strong.

I've tried using a compositing tag with force antialiasing checked, but that doesnt do anything.

can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong here please?

The forced AA of the compositing tag works only with best AA and not geometry AA.

Best set to 1x1,1x1 takes the same amout of time as geometry, because it's the same result, except with that setting you can force AA. So you don't have to wait.
