Hey - I’m using some atlases to create a scene but the edges of the atlas are extremely crunchy - they look very aliased or maybe I’m processing my opacity mattes incorrectly?

I’ve adjusted my scene to use ‘Epic’ antialiasing settings and in my project settings I changed the Anti-aliasing method to MSAA - which helped but it didn’t get rid of all the issues.

I’m not sure what else to do from here, does anyone know what I’m missing?

I don’t quite get what’s going on. Is this foliage, or a big texture stuck in front of the camera?

You’ve lost me, so it’s foliage? ( ie meshes? )

I think you’ll need to blur the mask on the material. It looks as if the texture is too sharp.
