for better anti-aliasing options in AE using text in 3D space. As Jayse
says, it becomes an aliased mess once in 3D space. The only way around it I found was to add a 0.25px blur. Not ideal as the text then becomes a
little less than crisp.

If only there were some kind of AA option similar to what you see in C4D (2x2, 4x4, 8x8 etc).

I added a request but thought it worth adding to the discussion here.
