FXAA

FXAA

FXAA applies a Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing pass that detects local contrast edges and blends across them. It is particularly useful after Shape or Disc-like generators when their silhouettes look pixelated.

Availability

This node requires Pro.

Common uses

  • Place FXAA near the end of a graph after the shapes or masks whose edges need smoothing.
  • Use it as a lightweight one-node finishing pass for aliasing rather than a general blur.

Input ports

  • input

  • Requires one Color or Grayscale image input.

Output ports

  • out

  • Outputs a Color or Grayscale image matching the input format.

Parameters

This node has no shared processing parameters.

Behavior

  • The effect has no authored parameters and preserves the input channel format.
  • Tiling controls whether edge samples wrap across texture boundaries.

Common mistakes

  • FXAA can soften intentional one-pixel detail and sharp mask boundaries.
  • It works from contrast, so low-contrast edges may receive little or no smoothing.
