What do "violent rendering" and "ray caching" mean

Question: What do "violent Rendering" and "ray Caching" mean?

Answer:

Violent Rendering and Ray Caching are two rendering modes, each balancing performance and visual quality differently:

1. Violent Rendering (Brute Force Rendering): Provides more detail, uses less memory, but renders more slowly.

2. Ray Caching (Irradiance Cache): Sacrifices some detail to render faster, using more memory but providing quicker results.

The difference in detail is minimal, so if speed is a priority, Ray Caching is a better option. Otherwise, you can stick with the default Violent Rendering for higher quality.

"Bounce Count" and "Subdivision" are parameters in both modes. The higher these values, the better the result, but they also require more system resources. For most cases, the default settings under Render Quality (such as Low, Normal, or High Quality) will be sufficient.

"Enhanced Reflections" is specifically used for materials like gems, glass, and other reflective surfaces to improve their rendering.
