6 MODULES• Frames Per Second: Sets the frame rate for the image sequence.» Cluster:• Enable Cluster: Enables the cluster.• Hostname: Defines the clustering slaves. Hostnames as well as IPs can beused to access the slaves.» General Settings144» Antialiasing: The Antialiasing settings control the number of samples taken duringstillframe antialiasing. These are the primary controls that influence the quality ofthe rendered image.• Image Samples: Sets the number of samples taken during stillframe antialiasing.Higher values produce a cleaner result while lower values reduce therender time. A value of 128 is recommended as starting point in general butmay be too low for interieur scenes with full global illumination.• Adaptive Sampling: Adaptive sampling allows the raytracer to skip regionsthat are already smooth and focus the processing power on regions that arestill noisy. The various quality settings control a threshold for a region tobe considered as smooth. Setting the control to “Highest Quality” disablesadaptive antialiasing and always samples each pixel with the number of imagesamples specified. While this gives the highest render quality it may wasteprocessing power on regions that are already smooth.· Preview Quality: Sets the sampling quality to a very low level, resulting inpreview render quality and very short render times.· Low Quality: Sets the sampling quality to low level, resulting in averagerender quality and short render times.· Medium Quality: Sets the sampling quality to medium level, resulting ingood render quality and medium render times.· High Quality: Sets the sampling quality to high quality level.· Ultra High Quality: Sets sampling quality to a production quality level.
