It is themain 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 qualityof sampling.Initial Samples: When rendering animage or activating still antialiasing inthe render options, the initial samplesare calculated in the first iterationstepsof the rendering process. This value canbe set between 0-63 Samples.Adaptive Samples - Amount ofminimum samples in which extremecontrast must be sampled.Threshold Quality - The threshold setsthe interrupt level for sampling whichresults 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, resultingin 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 productionquality level.Use Clamp Value - Activates clamping for very bright pixels, to eliminate whitespots after aliasing. The value sets the maximum multiplier for a white pixel.Activating clamping and reducing the multiplier will reduce the maximumresulting image color range.Pixel FilterFilter - VRED offers different filter algorithm for sampling.Box, Triangle, Mitchell Netravali, LanczosWidth - The pixel filter width defines how many neighboring pixels in width willbe taken in account to for sampling.Height - The pixel filter height defines how many neighboring pixels in heightwill be taken in account to for sampling.Trace Depth SettingsMax Reflection Depth - Sets the maximum amount of reflection each ray mayencounter.Max Refraction Depth - Sets the maximum amount of refraction each ray may
