Most Kaleider effects can be rendered with different
levels of Quality. Standard Quality is appropriate and preferable for many effects,
since it is the most efficient. However, for some categories of effects, such
as 3D Mirrors and Funnels, the rendered results might appear somewhat
pixelated and fuzzy. Improved Quality or Extra
Quality can be used with such effects to produce much
smoother, cleaner looking images. Type the G key to quickly re-render
the current effect with Extra Quality. Click the Qual button to access Quality options, including the Quality
Control screen:
A default Quality
Level, (Standard, Improved or Extra), can be specified for
each category of effect to control how effects will initially be
rendered. Action might seem a bit sluggish when using Improved or
Extra Quality, especially when
Surfaces or Maps are
active. The performance can be greatly improved by setting options to
temporarily lessen the Quality Levels while manually shifting effects
and during continuous activity, such as Wandering motion or Automatic Effects. Effects will be automatically
re-rendered with their normal Quality Level immediately after the activity
has completed, or whenever the action is paused (just hit the Space bar).
