Re: RenderRegion AntiAliasing now linked with Ray Depth?

["Steven Caron" <carons(at)gmail.com>]

yea sorry about that, but i didn't make any suggestions cause i really dont know how i would want it to work. (i shoulda just shutup then, eh?)

sometimes i just want to bring up min sampling. other times i just want to tighten the contrast. sometimes when using indirect illumination i just want to up the accuracy or photon count. so i just dont use the slider. sorry

i think its fine the way it is. no, its not how it used to be, but you explained it somewhere already. its a quality slider not an sampling slider.

Ok. Seeing the massive discontent with the slider all around, how would you folks want it to work? Everyone seems to just flame it but I don't see anything constructive or suggestions to an alternative behavior.

it has always increased sampling in a way i dont want it to. whatever the situtation is. so i avoid the slider too...

now that it increases everything else. i probably will avoid it more

Bloody hell, yes, it does, doesn't it. That's naughty.

I never use that slider anyway, it does stuff that makes no sense.
