Just thought I would throw in something I learned a long time ago about some of the DAZ render settings.
Max Time and Max Samples are settings that will terminate your render when one is reached first. In the image posted above:
So in the scheme of things you can usually set Max Time and Max Iterations to their maximum values and then adjust the resulting image quality you want to acheive using the Rendering Converged Ratio (BTW, setting it to 100% is not recommended) and setting the Rendering Quality to some number greater than 1. I don't actually know what Render Quality does, but seen it posted that it improves the overall output image.
Max Time and Max Samples are settings that will terminate your render when one is reached first. In the image posted above:
- If it takes 5000 seconds to render 100 iterations, it just stops rendering. It will also ignore your iteration and convergence setting.
- If it reaches 7200 iterations in less that 5000 seconds it will stop the render, again regardless of the other two settings.
- If it reaches 95% converged before 7200 iterations or 5000 seconds it will stop rendering.
