Howdy,
This may just be hitting the wall of graphics performance, but my system is pretty decent and I’m surprised how much the image quality drops during any dynamic view manipulation (pan, orbit). Most noticeable in rendered or arctic modes. Same with every device (mouse, Wacom, 3dConnexion). Could be I have a bad setting somewhere…
Any ideas?

So it’s a ‘feature’ !!?
I’m flabbergasted.
Isn’t there maybe at least a way to have this ‘choke’ only cut in when the model is too heavy? Or let the user select a performance target rather than just apply a global limit? I would prefer the option to reduce the frame-rate…
Rhino is the only program I have with this ‘feature’.
Dynamic viewing is a fundamental part of work presentations to clients.
Any chance there’s a way to allow my $$$$ GPU to do what I bought it for?

Just go to Tools - Options - Advanced tab and can search for these values. Sorry not at my desk now to elaborate but hope you can find it - it should do the trick for you.
It makes the image about 90% better, so I wonder what other tweaks might get us to 100%?
I’m happy though…

(I’m thinking any AA settings might also apply… gonna have a root around,
Maybe you try cranking up the AO shadows slider in your display mode… but typically beyond a point it just slows things down without a visible improvement.
Over here the AdvancedOptions trick makes it work 100%
The 2nd from top (Skylight shadow quality) - if sufficiently high, could make the static and dynamic SSO indistinguishable in many cases. I’m curious why you see 90%, not 100% quality of dynamic vs static after disabling the degradation. Maybe raising that slider would help.
Yes, with a script: DynamicSkylightShadowDegradationTOGGLE.rvb (2.5 KB)
(save on your HD and drag-and-drop into Rhino vport to install. The command DynamicSkylightShadowDegradationTOGGLE should become available to toggle and can be used as a macro on a button. Note this script will only work when no other commands are running (can’t toggle while in other command)
Thanks Jared, script will become a button.
Still getting the moire effects, but I’m starting to think maybe McNeel could be forgiven for passing (or at least sharing) the buck to other players in the pipeline. These moire effects persist even in still images, and I’m guess might be a result of the scaling/quantized steps involved in the model-mesh/rendering/monitor-resolution. Interesting that the effect is most noticeable in Arctic mode, and wonder if it would be possible to expose more granular control in -maybe just one custom mode- to try and fine-tune these effects. Meanwhile, I better get some work done!
Thanks for the help
the difference left between static and dynamic you see is due to dynamic having no AA. I’m not sure if that is possible, but I will ask.
Edit: The answer is no.
