RaytracingSettings
The RaytracingSettings offer all attributes for
interactive and image rendering settings. It is the
main module for producing sharp and smooth images.
It also offers the possibility to load and save Presets.
Antialiasing Settings:
Initial Samples/Adaptive Samples:
These Parameters determine the quality
of sampling.
Initial Samples: When rendering an
image or activating still antialiasing in
the render options, the initial samples
are calculated in the first iterationsteps
of the rendering process. This value can
be set between 0-63 Samples.
Adaptive Samples - Amount of
minimum samples in which extreme
contrast must be sampled.
Threshold Quality - The threshold sets
the interrupt level for sampling which
results in sapling quality.
Preview Quality - Sets the sampling qualities on a very low level,
resulting in preview render quality and very short render times.
Low Quality - Sets the sampling quality on a low level, resulting
in average render quality and short render times.
Medium quality - Sets the sampling quality on a medium level,
resulting in good render quality and medium render times.
High Quality - sets the sampling quality on a high quality level.
Ultra High Quality - Sets sampling quality on a production
quality level.
Use Clamp Value - Activates clamping for very bright pixels, to eliminate white
spots after aliasing. The value sets the maximum multiplier for a white pixel.
Activating clamping and reducing the multiplier will reduce the maximum
resulting image color range.
Pixel Filter
Filter - VRED offers different filter algorithm for sampling.
Box, Triangle, Mitchell Netravali, Lanczos
Width - The pixel filter width defines how many neighboring pixels in width will
be taken in account to for sampling.
Height - The pixel filter height defines how many neighboring pixels in height
will be taken in account to for sampling.
Trace Depth Settings
Max Reflection Depth - Sets the maximum amount of reflection each ray may
encounter.
Max Refraction Depth - Sets the maximum amount of refraction each ray may
