Render Setup Manager

In addition to using our render setup presets, you can use the Render Setup Manager dialog to adjust VUE's render engine settings. VUE offers a Render Setup Manager dialog, with tabs for Path Tracing and Ray Tracing. A few settings are shared between these render methods. Changing the shared settings will change the option on both tabs. The naming convention is also changed in the presets.

The new naming convention is as follows:
  • Good - implies this render setup should give you good results
  • Better - is similar to Good but adds texture filtering and is recommended for rendering animation frames
  • Best - implies this render setup will produce better quality results but will take longer to render
  • Extereme - useful if your scene is suffering from noise, splotches, or blotches. Rendering time for this preset will be significantly longer.

The primary difference between the Interior and Exterior versions of these presets is that the Exterior versions are optimized for exterior rendering by setting indirect bounces to 1, whereas Interior versions will all be set to 10 indirect bounces. Besides, ray trace settings for global illumination will use fewer indirect samples for exterior presets than interior presets. Path trace samples will be fewer for exterior presets than interior presets.
