: Hi,
:
: Thanks for posting the pictures so we can see what you mean, and for further
: describing the problem. Based on this, I somehow think the best method for
: doing what you want, is the method you're already using. In other words,
: merging the pictures with post-processing. Because this isn't so much
: "raytracing" as it is "image composition" that you're trying to do.

Well, I'd like to AA into the starfield instead of black.

: If you were trying to get photorealistic results, it would be another story,
: and this is probably what POV-Ray is meant for. Having so small stars with
: low AA is not going to work. Either you need bigger stars (a few pixels in
: size) or else you need high AA.. Personally I would try a combination, for
: the sake of realism and beauty. But I can imagine that your goal is
: something else.
:
: If it's simply a matter of rendering time, then I ask: Why not use better AA
: and save the time you spend on post-processing?

I did try better AA.

: Not that the starfield will
: remain exactly like this, but sure they don't have to vanish. To keep the
: stars small, make sure they are very strong / intense, and then try this AA:
:
: +AM2 +A0.0 +R2 -J

This didn't help, still kills the starfield. But thanks!

: Regards,
: Hugo

Have a great day! Thanks again...
