hi,

When i use mentra i can't understand the relationship of Pixel samples and Variance anti-aliasing. Min max ray num is variance ,but pixel samples is constant value. How they affect each other ?

thanks!

They multiply. So 12x12 pixel samples with 1-9 variance can produce from 144 to 1296 samples per pixel:
