I'll try this out when I get home tonight. I prefer working on super  
high resolutions to ensure that whatever finished product I'll come  
up with will look nicely anti-aliased when it reaches its final  
destination. I guess this is the way to go if Fyre can't properly  
anti-alias by itself, but that would be a pain in case the generated  
image is _always_ random, since then an hour-long rendering might not  
give the desired result afterall.
