Start low and increase the samples if you still see noise or the render looks grainy. Before rendering out an animation using Maximum Samples, test your samples with a still image render first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also set a Render Region on the Real-time View, focusing on the area, you think will require the most samples to look satisfactory. Turn on the Heads-Up Display (H hotkey) and let the Real-time View sit until the region looks that way you like it. Make a note of the number of samples from the HUD and use that info when setting the Max Samples.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Samples Per Frame<\/strong><br>The&nbsp;<em>Maximum Samples<\/em>&nbsp;option will read&nbsp;<em>Samples Per Frame<\/em>&nbsp;when the&nbsp;<em>Animation<\/em>&nbsp;tab is selected under the&nbsp;<em>Output<\/em>&nbsp;section. This option is ideal for animation output as it&nbsp;guarantees that each frame will be rendered at the same&nbsp;quality. Therefore, as the animation plays through the frames you will not see&nbsp;changes\/flickering in shadows or noise patterns on materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is typically preferred over the time-based output for animations, as some frames may require substantially more time to reach the same quality level as levels of detail and complexity change through the course of your animation. Using the time-based output will lead to more noise in the more complicated frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-columns gb-layout-columns-1 one-column\"><div class=\"gb-layout-column-wrap gb-block-layout-column-gap-2 gb-is-responsive-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column info-box gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"samples-and-resolution\">Samples and Resolution<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>A sample calculates the color of a pixel. There is a point of diminishing returns where you increase samples past the point of added quality, and just increase the render time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something important to be aware of is that&nbsp;<strong>as you increase the resolution of your image or animation, each pixel covers relatively less area of the image<\/strong>. This means you can use a lower samples setting when rendering at higher resolutions. Note that this does not apply to rendering with area lights, caustics or interior mode as increasing samples while using those features will still increase the quality.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pixel Filter Size<\/strong><br>This sets the amount of blur in pixels applied to the image to reduce the overly sharp look that computer-generated images can have. Increasing the value introduces more blur, but helps prevent aliasing and reduces sharpness. This does not increase render time. It is advised to leave this setting at the default value of 1.5. Higher values will cause low resolution images to look overly blurry, but can be used for high resolution renderings. A value of 1 disables pixel blurring. The maximum amount of blurring is 3 pixels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"RenderOptions-MaximumTime\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maximum_Time\"><\/span>Maximum Time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/manual.keyshot.com\/keyshot11\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/11\/render_options_max_time_20201113-1024x669.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manual.keyshot.com\/keyshot11\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/11\/render_options_max_time_20201113-1024x669.png 1024w, https:\/\/manual.keyshot.com\/keyshot11\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/11\/render_options_max_time_20201113-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/manual.keyshot.com\/keyshot11\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/11\/render_options_max_time_20201113-768x501.png 768w, https:\/\/manual.keyshot.com\/keyshot11\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/11\/render_options_max_time_20201113-1536x1003.png 1536w, https:\/\/manual.keyshot.com\/keyshot11\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/11\/render_options_max_time_20201113.png 1654w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Maximum Time<\/em>&nbsp;option for render quality will&nbsp;progressively refine the render for the amount of time set.
