Filter Maps Turns on or off the filtering of mapped materials. Default=on.
TIP Leave Filter Maps turned on unless you are making test renderings and want
to speed up rendering time and save memory.
Filter Size Allows you to increase or decrease the amount of blur applied to
an image. This option is available only when a Soften filter has been selected
from the drop-down list. The spinner is unavailable when any other filter has
been selected.
Setting the Filter Size to 1.0 effectively disables the filter.
NOTE Some filters show additional, filter-specific parameters below the Filter Size
control.
When you render separate elements on page 6144 , you can explicitly enable
or disable the active filter, on a per-element basis.
Global SuperSampling group
Disable all Samplers Disables all
supersampling on page 7942 . Default=off
NOTE SuperSampling settings are ignored by the mental ray Renderer on page
6039 , which has its own sampling method.
Enable Global Supersampler When on, applies the same supersampler to all
materials. When turned off, materials set to use the global settings are
controlled by the settings appearing in rendering dialog. All other controls in
the Global SuperSampling group of the rendering dialog will become disabled,
except for the Disable All Samplers. Default=on.
