Title: Render quality and ray traced objects
Post by: reck on July 20, 2010, 03:24:25 PM
Does the render quality setting in populations have any effect when the ray traced objects option is ticked? By effect I mean on render speed as well as any visual change.

If it doesn't I assume setting the quality to "low quality (fastest)" would not make the objects low quality and make it any faster, is this correct?

correct...with rto on, object quality settings are obsolete!

Thanks inky.

Maybe turning on the ray traced objects setting should disable the render quality setting to show the relationship between the settings. Otherwise users may be spending time changing the render quality setting without knowing it's actually doing nothing.
