rendered image. However, it also increases the time required to generate the image. Increasing the values of
multiple settings may increase render time exponentially. See
Rendering Best Practices on page 1172.
Description Setting
General Options
Increase this value to smooth jagged edges in the rendered image.
Enter a value between 1 (most jagged) and 10 (smoothest). See
Render
Performance and Image Size/Quality on page 1175.
Image Precision (Antialiasing)
Reflection and Transparency Options
Increase this value when objects are missing from reflections in the
rendered image. Enter a value between 0 (no reflections) and 100 Maximum Number of Reflections
(most reflections). See How Refractions and Reflections Affect Render
Performance on page 1175.
Increase this value when you cannot see objects through multiple
panes of glass. Enter a value between 0 (completely opaque) and 100 Maximum Number of Refractions
(completely transparent). See How Refractions and Reflections Affect
Render Performance on page 1175.
Increase this value when the edges or surfaces of objects in blurred
reflections are speckled. Enter a value between 1 (speckled) and 11
(smoothest). Blurred Reflections Precision
Increase this value when the edges of objects seen through rough
glass are speckled. Enter a value between 1 (speckled) and 11
(smoothest). Blurred Refractions Precision
Shadow Options
Select this option to make shadow edges blurred. Clear it to make
shadow edges sharp and distinct. See
Soft shadows on page 1173.
Enable Soft Shadows
Increase this value when the edges of soft shadows are speckled instead
of smooth. Enter a value between 1 (speckled shadows) and 10
(smoothest shadows). Soft Shadow Precision
Indirect Illumination Options
Select this option to include light from the sky and light that bounces
off other objects. Clear it to omit these light sources from the rendered
image. See
Indirect illumination on page 1174.
Compute Indirect and Sky Illumination
Increase this value to achieve more detailed indirect illumination (the
level of detail that is visible in indirect light) and shadows. Greater Indirect Illumination Precision
precision yields smaller subtle effects, usually in corners or below ob-
jects. Enter a value between 1 (less detail) and 10 (more detail).
