Summary
The following Anti-Aliasing methods in Movie Render Graph do not seem to work at all: FXAA, MSAA & SMAA.
We have run renders of a test scene using MRQ and MRG with equivalent anti-aliasing and render settings, and are seeing what seems to be a bug. For example, we ran a render using the MRQ preset, specifying FXAA with 10 temporal samples, output as an EXR. The render looks as expected, with edges smoothed out. When running the same scene, setup and render settings using movie render graph, the resulting EXRs that are output appear to have 0 antialiasing applied to the final image.
We have tried the same process and are seeing that TAA, TSR, and None as antialiasing methods are working properly in both MRQ and MRG, so we are suspecting that somehow the MRG feature is just not working properly for the other antialiasing methods
What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Rendering (Graphics / Niagara)
Steps to Reproduce
-
Render a shot with Movie Render Graph - Antialiasing Method FXAA, temporal samples 10, default global overrides, warm up settings, EXR sequence single-layer.
-
Render a shot with Movie Render Queue - Antialiasing Method FXAA, temporal samples 10, default global override, warm up settings ,EXR sequence output.
-
Different visual outputs are observed, tested in both 5.7.4 and 5.8.0
Expected Result
Expecting to see the same/similar level of anti-aliasing taking place on the final image. At the moment, the MRG output image does not seem to get any antialiasing applied.
Observed Result
Different visual outputs are observed, tested in both 5.7.4 and 5.8.0. At the moment, the MRG output image does not seem to get any antialiasing applied when compared to the same antialiasing methods applied in equivalent MRQ jobs.
We are seeing this in MRG for FXAA, MSAA, and SMAA methods. TAA, TSR and None Anti-aliasing work properly and look an par with their MRQ rendered counterparts.

Additional Notes
Getting this fixed would be very important for adoping MRG as the standard output method going forward!
