SUMMARY
=======
 
The Antialiasing settings (On and Off) in both the preview and the render
dialog boxes give the following result:
 
 - When On is selected, the user-specified antialiasing settings are used.
 
 - When Off is selected, mental ray receives default factory settings.
   These default settings are -1,1 for rendering and -2,0 for previewing.
 
If you do not change any of the rendering settings, On and Off both give
you the default factory settings. Therefore, images will be the same
regardless of whether Antialiasing is On or Off.
