Cycles X Render Sample Settings (Blender 3.0 Quick Tip)

Blender 3.0 introduced Cycles X, which is a much improved version of the Cycles render engine. And it changed how sampling works. You used to just choose how many samples to use, but now you actually have a few different ways of doing it. First, you can choose a noise threshold. This tells Blender to keep sampling until it gets the noise down to a certain point, which you can change. Lower values have less noise but render for longer. But, you can also tell it to stop if it gets to a maximum number of samples. And you can give it a minimum number of samples. Below this, you can even tell Blender to stop sampling after a certain number of seconds. If you uncheck noise threshold, you can give it a set number of samples like in previous versions of Blender. But can also give it a time limit. Leaving the time limit at zero means there is no time limit. Denoising in Cycles X works great, but a little tip is to make sure that your GPU drivers are updated. The fast and powerful upgrades of Cycles X only work with the newer drivers for GPU's. (popping sound) (people cheering)
