Rendering & Quality Fixes

• Start at a medium preset; test with a few camera angles and fast movement to reveal temporal artifacts.
• If flicker: raise temporal stability, increase frame accumulation, or enable stronger denoising.
• If blotchy or noisy GI in dark areas: raise sample count or enable stronger spatial filtering.
• For performance: reduce ray count, lower resolution for RTGI buffer (if option exists), or use single‑bounce-only mode.
• Combine with MXAO for detailed occlusion; place RTGI before heavy color grading to avoid compounding denoiser artifacts.

• Rays/Samples: increase for better quality, at higher cost.
• Denoiser/Temporal settings: tune to remove flicker without smudging details.
• AO/Intensity/Bounce parameters: to control occlusion strength and indirect light contribution.
