They seem to work just fine for a variety of animation styles. These frames are from the Anniversary release of Heavy Metal. The mountains in the lower left and the watercolor sky were good test areas. This particular filtertered frame is a little grittier in the orange sky than earlier versions of the filter but the clothing is smoother. The sky in neighboring frames are smoother. Overall, the reduction in mosquito noise is well worth any slight grittiness in some frames.
