method = {"HardwareDepthBuffer", "HardwareDepthPeeling", "BSPTree", "Software"};
method = method[[4]]
SetOptions[$FrontEndSession, RenderingOptions -> {"Graphics3DRenderingEngine" -> method}];
SetOptions[EvaluationNotebook[], RenderingOptions -> {"Graphics3DRenderingEngine" -> method}];
CurrentValue[$FrontEnd, {RenderingOptions, "Graphics3DRenderingEngine"}] = MethodOptions;
CurrentValue[$FrontEndSession, {"Antialiasing"}] = True;
CurrentValue[EvaluationNotebook[], {"Antialiasing"}] = True;
CurrentValue[$FrontEnd, {"Antialiasing"}] = True;
Also setting these kinds of options did not result in High-resolution, antialiased figures.... Any more ideas?
