is anyone using FPrime with lwsn?

Hi,
I got everything set up fine but I have issue with anti-aliasing (refining), setting like 1, 50, 150, 300 work fine and every render looks better than previous one (and renders accordingly longer), but it looks like those number are corresponding to window renderer so I need to render using much higher settings than 300; 750 possible even 1500.

And here I have problem, anything above 300 looks like 300 and have identical render time. Looks like for FPrime maximum level is somewhere at or above (but close) to 300.

Therefore I cannot get any good quality frames at least with transparency and / or radiosity.

I am using Perspective Camera if that can help.

hmmm it's a long time i dont use Fprime for final output (i'll be glad to do it again as soon as Worley implements instancing... HINT ! STEVE I KNOW YOY'RE READING, HA !).
Anyway i dont remember exactly how AA worked, i seems to remember that classic camera settings were the number of Fprime's passes, so Medium AA meant 9 passes, high 17 and so on. Does it make sense ? In this case with extreme you would have 33 passes, which should be fine for every situation. You should also tweak light quality accordingly, BTW... if you dont get good results over 30 passes, simply lower light quality. I did complex movies this way and it all went ok... our (grannie old) website has a pair of fprime movies, n. 1, n.2 (not first sequence which is LW+ HDi), n.3 are done with Fprime and Butterfly.

Thanks for the suggestions, for now I just rendered everything double size, worked perfectly. :)
