Jaggies showing on large canvas animation about zdog HOT 10 CLOSED

I've looked at this on a 4k monitor (same canvas height) and do not see any "jagged edges". Can you screengrab what you are seeing and mark the issue?

@turbo The problem is, that a screenshot cannot capture the issue.
I can only see it, when I am watching the blue ellipse rotate in the Y axis, at a any canvas size of over about 400 units, using:

Google Chrome 74
Firefox 67

On Windows 10, HP Laptop 15", i7-8550U CPU, 16GB RAM

The jaggies are very noticeable. It maybe a frame rate issue but I have a very good graphics card [NVIDIA GeForce 930MX ] on my laptop.

As I said, on my mobile devices, I cannot see any jaggies. It is totally smooth on my iPhone 8+ [iOS12.2].

It only happens during an animation sequence.

Thanks for reporting this issue. What do you mean by jaggies ?

The one visual bug I have been seeing is on Firefox with broken animation frames, where the model will disappear for a frame then reappear.

Please add a 👍 reaction to this issue if you're seeing jaggies, so I know how prevalent the problem is.

@desandro No. The model does not disappear, in this case. I can see very jagged edges on the model whilst it is rotating.

But these are giant jaggies!

I am wondering, whether adding the blue ellipse to a group, despite the fact that I won't be able to group it with any other shape, might alleviate this? I managed to solve a z-fighting issue on 4 small white spheres, by adding them to a group. I will let you know what happens!

@desandro OK. I have some interesting results. When I remove:

var tween = Zdog.easeInOut(progress % 1 ,3 );
illo.rotate.y = tween * (Zdog.TAU*2);

On the blue ellipse and use:

illo.rotate.y += 0.03;

The jaggies disappear. It seems like the speed of rotation is important. Its a shame because the 'easeInOut' effect is really nice and it only works well, when it rotates quickly.

@desandro David. I would just like to thank you for helping me to understand the difference between rotating a Group VS rotating an Anchor. I wanted to thank you on that thread but it is closed. Anyway, your last comment really nailed it for me!

I'm closing this issue as no one else has chimed in. Please open a separate issue if you run into a similar problem.
