First attempt \ observations with Path Tracer

Hi All

I have just completed a full visual with path tracer option.The extraction and rate per pass was much better than the standard`packet` method - however after 300 passes ( I would usually only use 40 passes in standard mode) and 14-15 hours later (time approximation - I was not around to check final render time) the render still was very pixelated and required many more passes. The light \shadows seemed more subtle but commercially I could not afford to spend so much computing time on renders so will stick with the regular method until Roy waves is magic wand!

One observation was that the higher the resolution of render - the quicker the render became more acceptable due to the smaller size of the pixels relative to the image size.
