The sampling settings exposes parameters for the Monte Carlo sampling. It ultimately controls the amount of rays that will be traced throughout the scene and thereby the speed and quality of the output.

Specify each parameter of the sampling settings manually.
Inputs
Name | Nickname | Description | Type |
---|---|---|---|
Samples | S | The square root of the total samples per point/pixel. The total sample count is determined by squaring this value. | Int32 |
Max Depth | Max | The absolute max amount of bounces that a ray path can do before it is terminated. For example, a value of 0 for this parameter will allow direct illumination only, while a value of 4 will permit up to 4 bounces of global illumination. | Int32 |
Roulette Depth | RD | The path depth at which to begin Russian Roulette termination. Russian Roulette may terminate ray paths after this depth especially if they contribute little to the result. | Int32 |
Roulette Threshold | TT | The path throughput threshold below which to perform Russian Roulette. Russian Roulette may terminate ray paths if their throughput is below this value. | Double |
