200, I think, Ben. I don't know what it is, but I've essentially been doing
the
same scenes with higher quality settings, and my render times were 30-40
mins. Now they're consistently pushing an hour or longer. The lower
settings don't seem to hurt the quality any, and the blotchines came with
high settings on skin and light cloth textures. But they're always an easy
post fix and I'm no purist. :O)
