Settings

• Samplings — noise levels

  • Min Ray samples

  • Max Ray samples

Jason iversen PBR

• Pixel Samples: 7x7 (up to 10x10 if the scene really needed it)

• Min/Max Ray Samples: 1/9 – sometimes 2/9

• Noise Level: 0.08 (this seemed good enough to us … less than film grain)

• Reflect/Diffuse Limits: 2, 2

• Color Space: Gamma 2.2

• Color Limit: 4 (your 1 is clamping way too hard)

• Photons: 2m photons for a huge room. Yours is 7m! I'm sure 1m is fine for this space. Ratio was 2.5.
