Render Settings
The main setup of the default FurryBall parameters, performance and export setting
Default and much faster is used TrBVH builder which uses GPU for building structure. When you have LOW graphics memory, select some of CPU variant to prevent crashing FurryBall.
FurryBall supports two GPU builders (TrBVH and LBVH) and two CPU builders (BVH and Median BVH). For very specific cases FurryBall allows to select also No Acceleration.
BVH, Median BVH and LBVH structures supports also refitting, it means, that only changes are updated, instead of rebuilding whole structure. It can be useful for some cases because of build speedup, however it can cause also render slowdown, if refitted structure will become bad.
(This is just for building internally structures - rendering is ALWAYS made on GPU)
Specially Hair systems can cause HUGE memory peeks and cause crash.
FurryBall support selecting one acceleration structure type for all transform nodes and one type for geometries. It can be helpful for some cases, however it can cause rendering slowdown or fails in some variations.
Changing acceleration structure is recommended only for advanced users, which know what doing.

Maximum distance that any ray can achieve. For example: two objects can not reflect or illuminate each other, if distance between them is bigger then radius attribute.
Maximal intensity value for each Primary or Direct rays in global illumination. It can be helpful if it in scene objects with large intensity. This intensity is distributed in scene and can cause very noisy results, which is very badly reduced by adding rays count. White dots problem

Max Ray Intensity 3 |
Seed value of noise pattern used for raytracing.
Maya viewport only
Enables/disables progressive rendering.
Quality of progressive rendering. If value is lower than 0, than pixel reduction is used (ie. first frame is rendered in lower resolution). Value greater than 0 specifies, that additional rays will be computed in first frame of progressive. This allow you to preview in better quality than only with one ray.
Default is NONE.
Spiral, Lines, Random - types of tiles rendering (save memory and help keep Maya response during rendering)
NONE - Will be faster, but slower Maya response and more memory hungry
Allows interactively change post-production effect without re-rendering. (It's slow render time little bit).
File output and final render only
Enables/disables progressive rendering.
Quality of progressive rendering. If value is lower than 0, than pixel reduction is used (ie. first frame is rendered in lower resolution). Value greater than 0 specifies, that additional rays will be computed in first frame of progressive. This allow you to preview in better quality than only with one ray.

NONE - Can be faster, but slow Maya response and more memory hungry
FurryBall prints all important messages and errors to the 'Output window'. This attribute affects the verbosity of the messages logged.
Show frames per second or render time and some other renderer status information if enabled. - HUD
UI elements enable - like Manipulators, etc..
Show frame progress for status information about rendered frame in the script and output window.
Progress bar enable during rendering.
