Image Sampler and GI Engine

The two tools that most greatly change the balance of render quality vs. speed is the Image Sampler and the GI Engine.

V-Ray tab - Selecting image sampler for antialiasing and image filtering, settings for cameras and environment to customize.
GI tab - Selection and settings for primary and secondary GI engines, GI caustics.
Global settings that feature displacement and texture settings.
Render Elements tab - Creation and control of render elements for pass compositing and post-production.
