IMPORTANT NOTES:

· Only use 'low quality' to get fast previews. Don't use it for high quality.
· If you are not interested in chromatic dispersion of dielectrics, put abbe number greater or equal to 150. Furthermore, you will get less noise caused by dielectrics.
· When possible, use as few triangle emitters as possible.
· When possible, avoid using high reflectances in materials. For example high saturated colors in diffuses.
· Always use a Maxwell camera.
