 '''Settings'''
 * '''Maximum threads:''' Sets the maximum number of threads Terragen creates during rendering.
 * '''Ray detail region:''' The ray detail region is the area in the scene where polygons with displacement are fully subdivided by the ray tracer. Polygons outside this area are only coarsely subdivided. Sometimes you might have problems like shadows cast by objects outside the the camera view not seeming accurate. This could be corrected by changing the ray detail region.
 ** '''No detail:''' Nothing is fully subdivided. Everything is subdivided only coarsely.

 * '''Ray detail region padding:''' If you are using '''Detail in crop region''' or '''Detail in camera''' you can use this "padding" amount to enlarge the ray detail region beyond the crop region or camera view. The value is typically between 0 and 1 and it controls the amount of padding. 0 means no padding. 1 adds a border around that area which is the same as the width or height of the area. This will make the ray detail region 3 times as wide and 3 times as tall (as seen from the camera). If you need to go higher than 1, consider changing the '''Ray detail region''' to '''360 degree detail (optimal)'''.
 * '''Subdiv Settings...:''' Clicking on this will open [[Render Subdiv Settings]]. This contains some advanced settings that affect the rendering of subdivisible, displaceable surfaces.
-* '''Ray trace objects:''' If this is checked, objects (plants for example) are rendered using raytracing. Generally speaking this leads to a higher quality image which renders more quickly. The disadvantage to using raytracing is that objects will not be rendered with displacement. If an object has displacement mapping in its textures the raytracer will convert this to bump mapping.

	* '''GI prepass padding:''' This setting does a similar thing to the ray detail region padding, but it works on GI samples. The padding can help to resolve problems with GI differences around the edges of crops or images. These might be apparent if you're stitching images together. Small values are recommended. 0.1 might be a good starting point.		* '''GI prepass padding:''' This setting does a similar thing to the ray detail region padding, but it works on GI samples.

 ** '''Detail in camera:''' Areas within the camera view are fully subdivided by the ray tracer. Areas outside this are only coarsely subdivided.
 ** '''360 degree detail (optimal):''' The subdivision detail is highest in the direction that the camera is looking towards. The detail gradually decreases to 33% of the highest detail behind the camera, so detail outside of the camera view is usually higher than in the previous two modes. ''In this mode '''Ray detail region padding''' is ignored. This mode does not work with orthographic cameras.''
