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.
