In ray release features, different options that control the number of released rays or the number of values in a distribution are multiplicative, not additive. For example, if you use the Release node and set the Number of rays per release equal to 100, then release a Normal distribution of frequency values and set the Number of values to 1000, the total number of released rays will be 100,000.

This subsection refers to the Blackbody option in the Initial Ray Frequency or Vacuum Wavelength section of most general-purpose ray release features such as Release and Release from Grid. These settings only affect the distribution of the spectral variable and do not affect, for example, the initial ray intensity or power. The dedicated Blackbody Radiation node also controls the ray direction distribution and the total emitted power; for more information, see Blackbody Radiation Theory.
