Steve-C Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Has anyone figured this out yet? I get super crisp images and shadows on both of my PC rigs but on my Mac laptop I get this garbage. Normally I wouldn't care but I'm going to be out of town quite a bit over the next few months and I would really like to get this figured out. My current Mac is a 15" Macbook Air but I got the same results when I had a Mac Studio with an M3 Ultra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-C Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 (edited) To compare here is the same image from Windows Mac used to have a "sharpen image" option a few years ago but they got rid of it. I have messaged tech support about this a couple of times but they gave me some BS about having to create a new template every so often when using a Mac. I tried that and still had the same results.

Steve-C Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 Settings are the same for Mac and Windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 My first guess is to toggle on Ray Casted Sun Shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-C Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 (edited) Tried that. Also turned bloom on and off, adjusted ambient occlusion, adjusted sharpening and super resolution, none of which made any difference. I should mention that this has been the result on multiple Mac devices and is why I use Windows machines at my home office and work office. I only use Mac for site measures.

Solution Brad_M Posted March 10 Solution Share Posted March 10 There is a bug on the Mac that is preventing Ray Casted Sun Shadows from working properly in Standard views. I think the only workaround is disabling GPU Ray Tracing in Render Preferences (which will prevent PBR and Clay from working until the preference is re-enabled). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-C Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 That did it. Disable GPU ray tracing in prefernces, then enable Ray Casted Sun Shadow in your active view. Thanks a million Brad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
