- next adaptive step will sample any pixels with difference larger than 0.02 with additional 4 subdivs set in subdiv AA
- and two more adaptive steps will proceed looking for any pixels with difference larger than 0.02, and keep refining them using 4 more AA subdivs

Wouldn't it be better if apart from "initial subdivs" there would be another value for MAX additional subdivs? So there would be initiall pass with 4 subdivs and in the next pass each pixel would be sampled with 2,3 or 4 subdivs (but not more), depending on how much is needed to reach the threshold. So some pixels that don't need to be subdivided 4 times would be sampled faster. Anyway, I know it's still probably a temporary solution and Keymaster will do his magic. :)

I am doing this now. Just started setting up some random flying objects when I saw the word "adaptivity". :)

And in Aug 20 2013 21:58:35 the names for parameters are:
-initial samples
-passes
-adaptive thresh.

Which is kind of self explanatory.

And remember to use pt+pt only with pt samples: 8 or so.

You need to add a light or light emittin material to your scene and everything will be allright. :)

It is also useful if you simply want to bake a texture without switching to scanline, which would also require setting up a new material.

I think there is risk that materials made today would look totally different in future release. :)

This towel looks better but it looks as if it was made of concrete or very very rough. :)

Vray is a nice example of a renderer that is reasonably good at everything ;)

Yes, but usually only if you use lots of biases and fakes. Or have a render farm.
