thank you very much for the prompt reply.
did you have a chance to peek at the render?

i always thought that `samples` variable would come into play some day.
what are average/useful settings?  do i start with min 10 and max 1000 or
just experiment/tweak until iget the results i need?  i am asking this
since i reaaly should be working and not running renders in my head and
asking silly questions to the community.
