Parameters

GI engine – Specifies the secondary engine. 

The primary GI engine is always set to Brute Force.

None – No secondary bounces are computed. Use this option to produce skylit images without indirect color bleeding.
Brute force – Causes V-Ray to use direct computation for secondary diffuse bounces.
Light cache – Sets Light Cache as the secondary GI engine.

GI depth – Controls the number of secondary bounces for indirect illumination when Brute Force is used.
