RENDERTIME (System Variable)

Specifies the number of minutes that the render engine uses to iteratively refine a rendered image.

Type:Integer
Saved in:Drawing
Initial value:10

The render engine analyzes the results of a rendered image between iterations, or levels, to determine where improvements can be made. Increasing the render time improves the quality of a rendered image as more iterations can be performed, but the improvements made between iterations might become less distinguishable with long rendering times.

Valid range is 1 to 32767.

The RENDERTARGET system variable indicates whether rendering is based on a fixed number of levels or a time limit to control the quality of a rendered image. The rendering time limit is specified by this system variable, while the number of levels, or iterations, is specified by the RENDERLEVEL system variable.
