Meaning that, based on a number of user-specified input parameters, the engine can and will make some very deliberate choices about where and how it decides to use the number of samples that have been made available to it. In the Render Setup dialogue then let's come in to the V-Ray tab, and in the image sampler rollout, switch from Fixed to the Adaptive engine. Noting straight away of course that our Fixed image sampler rollout now becomes the Adaptive image sampler rollout. This of course being where we can access all the control parameters for the Adaptive engine. The options used here to determine the number of samples available for use in this system are these Min and Max values. Now right out of the gate here, we do need to sound a quick note of warning in that we never really want to be setting the same numeric value in the Min and Max…
