Description

Best viewed zoomed in. I'm probably the only one who DIDN'T know this, but on the outside chance that there are others who don't and who might find the information useful, I'm reposting a reworking of a prior piece. The original HALL OF MIRRORS was rendered in DAZ Studio with a Max Ray Trace Depth of 2. I got wondering what would happen if I set that number higher, so I re-rendered at 8 iterations. Sure enough, the outcome (compare this post with the prior) has more reflections than the one done at 2 iterations. In hindsight, I guess that makes sense. This setting is found under Render/Render Settings/Advanced Settings, then scroll down to Max Ray Trace Depth. I hope others find this information useful. It was one of those light-bulb-over-the-head moments for me. :) Thanks for stopping by my gallery. ~Robert
