Sampling Settings#

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
