AppleseedOptions

Sets global scene options applicable to the appleseed renderer. Use the StandardOptions node to set global options applicable to all renderers.

user

Container for user-defined plugs. Nodes should never make their own plugs here, so users are free to do as they wish.

out

The processed output scene.

enabled

The on/off state of the node. When it is off, the node outputs the input scene unchanged.

in

The input scene

options

The options to be applied - arbitrary numbers of user defined options may be added as children of this plug via the user interface, or using the CompoundDataPlug API via python.

options.renderPasses

Number of render passes. When using photon mapping this is the number of progressive refinement passes used.

options.sampler

Antialiasing sampler

options.minAASamples

Number of uniform samples to render before adaptive sampling

options.maxAASamples

Maximum number of anti-aliasing samples (0 for unlimited)

options.aaBatchSampleSize

How many samples to render before each convergence estimation

options.aaNoiseThresh

Maximum amount of noise allowed in the image

options.lightingEngine

Light transport engine

options.shadingOverride

Replaces all shaders in the scene by special diagnostics shaders that can visualize uvs, normals, … Useful for debugging scenes.

options.environmentEDF

Light to use as the environment.

options.environmentEDFBackground

Whether or not the environment is visible in the background.

options.ptDirectLighting

Enable direct lighting

options.ptIBL

Enable image-based lighting

options.ptCaustics

Enable caustics

options.ptMaxBounces

Maximum number of bounces.If set to a negative number, use an unlimited number of bounces

options.ptMaxDiffuseBounces

Maximum number of diffuse bounces.If set to a negative number, use an unlimited number of bounces

options.ptMaxGlossyBounces

Maximum number of glossy bounces.If set to a negative number, use an unlimited number of bounces

options.ptMaxSpecularBounces

Maximum number of specular bounces.If set to a negative number, use an unlimited number of bounces

options.ptLightingSamples

Number of samples used to estimate direct lighting

options.ptIBLSamples

Number of samples used to estimate environment lighting

options.ptMaxRayIntensity

Clamp intensity of rays (after the first bounce) to this value to reduce fireflies.Set to zero to disable

options.ptClampRoughness

Clamp BSDF roughness parameter to a maximum level to reduce fireflies in glossy reflections

options.photonType

Photon Type

options.sppmDirectLighting

Method used to estimate direct lighting

options.sppmIBL

Enable image-based lighting

options.sppmCaustics

Enable caustics

options.sppmPhotonMaxBounces

Maximum number of photon bounces.If set to a negative number, use an unlimited number of bounces

options.sppmPathMaxBounces

Maximum number of path bounces.If set to a negative number, use an unlimited number of bounces

options.sppmLightPhotons

Number of light photons per render pass

options.sppmEnvPhotons

Number of environment photons per render pass

options.sppmInitialRadius

Initial photon gathering radius in percent of the scene diameter.

options.sppmMaxPhotons

Maximum number of photons used to estimate radiance

options.sppmAlpha

Evolution rate of photon gathering radius

options.denoiserMode

Enable the denoiser. When choosing Write Outputs, two EXR images with denoising AOVs will be written in the same directory as the beauty image. The command line denoiser in appleseed can be used with the EXR files to produce denoised images.

options.denoiserSkipPixels

Disabling this option will produce better results at the expense of slower processing time.

options.denoiserRandomPixelOrder

Process pixels in random order. Enabling this option can help reducing artifacts.

options.denoiserScales

Number of resolution scales used for denoising.

options.searchPath

The filesystem paths where shaders and textures are searched for.

options.numThreads

Number of threads to use for rendering.Set to zero to use all CPU cores

options.interactiveRenderFps

Maximum progressive rendering update rate in frames per second

options.textureMem

Texture cache size in bytes

options.tileOrdering

Tile rendering order

options.logLevel

Determines the verbosity of log output.

options.logFileName

The name of a log file which appleseed will generate while rendering.

options.interactiveRenderMaxSamples

Sets the maximum number of samples to use when doing interactive rendering.
