This is a beautiful render and definately a reason not to save on the anti aliasing quality

also from what i've noticed in the professional world is that sometimes a "crisp" images is usually better than a smooth anti-aliased image, even if the image may look aliased digitally, in print it looks a lot more vivid as anti-aliased images tend to look a bit blurry and can cause strain on the eyes.

Anti aliasing does not rule out sharp image quality as long as the minimum and maximum sample range is high enough. Many people do the mistake to use a high AA threshold (like 10%) for their images wondering why they look so blurry as you say. Best results are achieved by not using any threshold at all (which causes long render times though).
Good anti aliasing settings will never affect the image sharpness. It is an art in itself though.

i know, like who does use a threshold of 10% any more? well unless its a prefinal render, mines is usually set to 0% with min 4x4 and max 8x8. though have you seen max's or maya's render engines AA setup, its not as simple as ours, its got a bunch more widgets and stuff like how our posts effects are in its own separate area, their's are all bunched into one area which makes it sort of hard to find what you are looking for, plus with each different engine, there are different options, such as have you used maxwell or vray or final render for Cinema 4d? if yes, then you know what i mean.

I don't really get your point. You say that even with no threshold and 4x4/8x8 settings your images still appear blurry? Can't believe that. Turn off the filters.
I am using 3DS Max, XSI, Houdini and Maya here at work and their AA engines are not much more complex than C4D's, leading to quite similar results. Additional features that come with plugins, like the jittering of FinalRender (which is the only one in this case), only help at saving render time. Take Mental Ray for example: All we got here are the minimum and maximum samples plus image filtering and contrast threshold. The algorithms are exactly the same as in C4D.
It is really about finding the right settings for the individual project. Believe me.

too lazy to read but um you wouldnt happen to know how to make a simulated carbon fiber material with procedurals would you? there was a way of doing it with layer but i can't remember how.

Chances are he used Vray for either Max or Maya to render this out and usually this is how the renders come out, it looks like it doesnt have AA but its the effect of renderer's engine.
