# Antialasing

## Antialias Method

The algorithm used for the antialiasing pass. Currently only has 1 algorithm but more will be investigated and hopefully added in a future update.

* None - Automaticaly disables the pass
* CMAA2 - uses [Intel's Conservative Morphological AA](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/conservative-morphological-anti-aliasing-20.html)

## Outline Material

This is your outline material that gets rendered in order to apply the AA algorithm onto. It doesn't contain any scene colour, just the outline.

## Pass Location

Allows you to render the aliased outline directly to the scene colour without needing to create a post-process material. For more flexibility you will need to use the result in a post-process material.

* Render Target - this is the default location and is always output to so the result can be accessed elsewhere such as a post-process material.
* Pre-post Process - adds the result directly after all the plugin render passes have completed
* Motion blur - right before the motion blur pass
* Tone-mapping - right before tone-mapping is performed

{% hint style="info" %}
You can access the output in a post-process material using the Anti Aliased Outlines Material node or by using the render target directly.
