The whole point of a depth pass is to accurately rneprseet depth in gray-scale. If you start anti-aliasing your depth pass, you add in shades of gray which are rneprseeting depth which wasn't originally there. I wouldn't recommend doing this, although it's sometimes unnoticeable. Rendering your depth pass at 2x resolution then scaling back is a more accurate way of solving the problem.Just my opinion anyways

Hi Nick,i defenitly don't wanna go on your nervs but i think you have to try it.In this part on mutine 16 or so you say that there are steps on the edges of the totem caused by the alpha-matte and there is no way to fix it. But since Cinema 4d R11.5 you can.As i've written in my comment for part one, there is a litte check-box in the render-preferences under Anti-Aliasing. Consider Multi-Passes i think (i'm from germany so i don't know if it's the real name in the english version).When you tick that all multi-pass-renders will be anti-aliased and fit perfectly to the rendered picture. So hopefully this will fix these stairs-edges even with DOF.I've tried it with photoshop and it worked.It's just a tip, i realy don't whant to annoy you! So keep on going, love your tutorials!
