Boolean switch for back face visibility. |

With this switch off, back faces of opaque objects will be invisible |
| 369 |

to all rays. |

This is dangerous unless the model was constructed such that |

all surface normals on opaque objects face outward. |

all surface normals face outward. |

Although turning off back face visibility does not save much |
| 373 |
|
computation time under most circumstances, it may be useful as a |
| 374 |
|
tool for scene debugging, or for seeing through one-sided walls from |

the outside. |

This option has no effect on transparent or translucent materials. |

Boolean switch to control uncorrelated random sampling. |

|
When "off", a low-discrepancy sequence is used, which reduces |
| 568 |

variance but can result in a brushed appearance in specular highlights. |

variance but can result in a dithered appearance in specular highlights. |

When "on", pure Monte Carlo sampling is used in all calculations. |
