The invention provides a technique for adding greater realism to a computer-generated image by smoothing jagged edges. During the rendering of an image, specific pixels in the image are identified where antialiasing would be helpful. Antialiasing is then performed on these identified pixels, where anti-aliasing is a technique used to add greater realism to a digital image by smoothing jagged edges. This reduces a cost of performing antialiasing by reducing a number of pixels within an image on which antialiasing is performed. 本发明公开了关于通过平滑锯齿边缘向计算机生成的图像添加更大的真实感的技术。在渲染图像期间，图像中的特定像素会被标识出来，其中抗锯齿将是有帮助的。然后对这些标识出的像素执行抗锯齿，其中抗锯齿是用于通过平滑锯齿边缘向数字图像添加更大的真实感的技术。这通过减少执行抗锯齿的图像中的像素数量，降低了执行抗锯齿的成本。
