I drew a shape, but it's not very smooth, kind of jagged. Just wondering if there are any ways to make it look smoother. An example:

Thanks in advance

Let's see. Some time back I do remember someone asking something similar about smoothing curves and I do believe the answer was this. (Now don't quote me on this)

Gaussian Blur the edges then use play around with the curves to crisp it up.

I do believe that they wanted to make a curve like on the one at Phong but they couldn't smooth it out so I'm pretty sure that's what they were told to do. I searched for it for the life of me I can't seem to find it when I did the search. Oh well I hope some one else could find it for ya. Or tell ya if what I said would work.

Sorry I can't give ya any real solid answers. New to this myself. Just passing on what I've learned from the great folks here.

The technique above will smooth out your curve but also make the end blunt!

- basically gaussian blur quite heavily and then Levels adjust until the shape is restored -

Far and away the best way to achieve a shape like this - the only way really is to use the dreaded PEN tool! you can achieve perfectly smooth edges and a perfect point at the end this way.
