I am learning about anti-aliasing in COFFEE via the Texturing and Modelling book and sample RenderMan shader.
I often see a reference to the following:
/* Estimate the filter width -- i.e. the change from pixel to pixel -- of
* float and point values.
*/
#define filterwidth(x) (abs(Du(x)*du) + abs(Dv(x)*dv))How can we obtain the filterwidth for the pixel currently being shaded from the VolumeData object?
Cheers

Hard to tell without knowing what 'Du(x)' and 'du' are in the code. I don't know anything about RenderMan. Does anyone else know?

I'm not sure what to map that to in the C4D SDK. Perhaps VolumeData::delta could do, if all you want is to avoid aliasing?
