Add number of indirect samples to render settings #1259

Open dictoon opened 7 years ago

Instead of a number, I suggest a "factor". There should be one place to select sample count. The rest is factors IMHO.

In this case, it's actually the same thing: if for each of the N primary rays, there are K direct/indirect rays, then there will be N*K direct/indirect rays, so K is both a number and a factor.

Maybe in terms of UI we can use the word "factor" instead of "number", sure.

Clarisse seems to have intuitive shading rate controls, maybe a good source of inspiration: https://www.clarissewiki.com/3.6/shading_oversampling.html

Decoupling AA (aka, camera) samples from lighting/material samples is interesting yes.

I guess it can conflict with adaptive sampling policy.
