Hello everyone,

I'm rendering some paint effects shots using the plant brushes, and am having some setbacks. It seems that upon medium to medium closeups, the leaves and flowers become very blurry, with extremely blurred edges, yet the branches and twigs remain sharp, with crisp edges. I've tweaked every setting I can think of, and nothing seems to sharpen or crsipen up my flowers and leaves.

The softness attribute doesn't seem to help at all.

I can supply screenshots if necessary.

Any takers?

Did you check Oversample in the Paint Effects Rendering Options (Render Globals)?
Are you in Maya 5.0?

Yes and Yes!

I would like to try to reproduce it here: are you using default brushes? Any renders you can post? Oversampling usually blurs the borders/edges: if you are looking for crispness maybe it would be a good idea to turn it off...
