Max Bounces

Максимальное количество отскоков света может контролироваться вручную. Хотя в идеале оно должно быть бесконечным, на практике может быть достаточно меньшего количества отскоков; так же можно опустить просчёт некоторых малозначимых взаимодействий света, чтобы ускорить сходимость расчёта. Кроме того, можно индивидуально контролировать количество диффузных отскоков, глянцевых отскоков и передач.

Light paths are terminated probabilistically when specifying a minimum number of light bounces lower than the maximum. In that case, paths longer than minimum will be randomly stopped when they are expected to contribute less light to the image. This will still converge to the same image, but renders faster while possibly being noisier.

Total

Maximum number of light bounces. For best quality, this should be set to the maximum. However, in practice, it may be good to set it to lower values for faster rendering. A value of 0 bounces results in direct lighting only.

Diffuse

Maximum number of diffuse bounces.

Glossy

Maximum number of glossy bounces.

Прозрачность

Maximum number of transparency bounces.

Максимальное количество прозрачных отскоков контролируется независимо от остальных типов отскоков. Кроме того, можно использовать вероятностное прерывание прозрачных отскоков, которое может помочь визуализировать множество слоёв с прозрачностью.

Transmission

Maximum number of transmission bounces.

Volume

Maximum number of volume scattering bounces.

Clamp

Clamp Direct

This option limits the maximum intensity a sample from rays which have not yet bounced can contribute to a pixel. It reduces noise at the cost of accuracy. Setting this option to 0.0 disables clamping altogether. Lower have a greater affect (dimmer samples) on the resulting image than higher values.

Примечание

This option provides a way to limit Fireflies. However, note that as you clamp out such values, other bright lights/reflections will be dimmed as well.

Care must be taken when using this setting to find a balance between mitigating fireflies and losing intentionally bright parts. It is often useful to clamp indirect bounces separately, as they tend to cause more fireflies than direct bounces. See the Clamp Indirect setting.

Clamp Indirect

The same as Clamp Direct, but for rays which have bounced multiple times.

Caustics

A common source of noise is Caustics.

Filter Glossy

When using a value higher than 0.0, this will blur glossy reflections after blurry bounces, to reduce noise at the cost of accuracy. 1.0 is a good starting value to tweak.

Some light paths have a low probability of being found while contributing much light to the pixel. As a result these light paths will be found in some pixels and not in others, causing Fireflies. An example of such a difficult path might be a small light that is causing a small specular highlight on a sharp glossy material, which is observed through a rough glossy material. In fact in such a case there practically occurs a caustic.

With path tracing it is difficult to find the specular highlight, but if you increase the roughness on the material, the highlight gets bigger and softer, and so easier to find. Often this blurring will hardly be noticeable, because it is blurred by the material anyway, but there are also cases where this will lead to a loss of detail in lighting.

Caustics
Reflective

While in principle path tracing supports rendering of caustics with a sufficient number of samples, in practice it may be inefficient to the point that there is just too much noise. This option can be unchecked, to disable reflective caustics.

Refractive

The same as above, but for refractive caustics.
