Quote - if anybody is seeking a "GI bounces" variable (which they had in the previous version(s)), just wanted to mention that if the new renderer is like other professional renderers with GI/IDL/ISL, then there should only be ray-trace bounces IMVHO.

easy there. ok? 

you you need to have seperate control for raytraced bounces and lighting bounces. lets say i have a car in my scene. and i want 5 bounces of light. does this mean that i should render out a car with 5 raytraced bounces? are you even aware how much this is? noone uses 5 bounces for reflection.
