Short description of error
[Please fill out a short description of the error here]
In version 2.82, you could make pixel images without anti-aliasing. You can't do that here. What should I do?

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Creating a grease pencil
Creating an effect "Pixel" (size 5 px, 5 px)
Scene -> Grease Pencil -> Anti-Aliasing Threshold
[Please describe the exact steps needed to reproduce the issue]
[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]

@Clément Foucault (fclem) I guess this is by design of the new Pixelate VFX and not related to Antialiasing, right?

Antonio Vazquez (antoniov) renamed this task from Grease pencil anti-aliasing is not disabled for the "pixel" effect to GPencil: Anti-aliasing is not disabled for the "pixel" effect.Jun 23 2020, 3:42 PM

In previous versions of the program, in Preference - > Viewport there was an anti-aliasing item for Grease Pencil (I don't remember what it was called, but it seems to be " Grease Pencil Anti-Aliasing")

sorry I made a mistake, here I downloaded the last version of the program:


Grease Pencil Multisampling. Where is this button now?

@andrai (ihni) In 2.83 you have two options.

This disable AA.

And the threshold parameter to change how works.

I have tested using the simplify and it looks the pixelate effect is what created this AA effect, not the antialiasing itself. The problem with the old Pixelate VFX was that it was wrong, so the current implementation is the right one.

This disable AA.

it doesn't work :(

I want to find "Grease Pencil Multisampling" and disable it.

As I explained you above, the antiliasing effect is not produced by AA, but by the Pixelate effect itself. If you disable AA in a stroke without Pixelate, you will see the diffference. The old Multisampling value in user prefs screen was removed because this is not used anymore.

So you won't be able to make vector pixel-art in the new blender? :(
Sadly...

We could add a checkbox or a sample parameter to use nearest neighbor for this effect.

@Antonio Vazquez (antoniov) this should be very easy for you.

that would be great. But because of one person it is unlikely to be added to the program

The patch D8100 have been applied to master.
