Why is my line not smooth, but 'pixelated'?

Hi!

Does anyone know why my lines look so pixelated (see the screenshot attached) ?

I am using the free version of TD, 2021.13610 on a 13’’ macbook pro 2019 1,4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 with Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 1536 MB.

hi,

this is just the viewer display and i assume the limited small size of those viewers are not optimal enough to display the thin line of the SOP. Not sure it has to deal with your hardware. Happens to me also on an AMD GPU. Try zooming closer or right clic on a SOP and select View to display at a bigger size.

@Bartholome Can you post this file I would like to try it on my system. You should have file-posting-access now.

Even when increasing the size, or selecting the View option, it remains pixelated.

For the record, i have opened your project and i don’t have this issue.

@Bartholome Can you update to 2021.14360 which is the latest Official on the download page. It had some fixes for rendering in macOS, I am wondering if this is related.

I did the update, but there is no difference unfortunately.

What version of macOS are you using? Gallo says Mojave is ok, wondering where we should look.

Thanks for your help, I am using Big Sur, version 11.4.
