1) assummed gamma (value)
2) fake seams (value)
3) radiosity (i think i have this one figured out)
4) fov corrections (check/unchech)
5) gernerate (check/unchech)
6) enable AA (check/unchech)
7) thresshold (value)
1: This has to do with display technology, for Povray 3.7 is should be 1.0 unless you are doing something artsy.
2: LDraw parts have no bevels so stacked bricks will show up like a single object. This option introduces small spaces inbetween parts to 'fake' the bevels so it looks more like real stacked bricks.
3: Lighting model, if enabled gives more realistic images but will be slower to render (especially on the HQ setting).
4: This is LDCad specific and will enable/disable composition correction in order to keep the framing identical (with some padding if needed) to how it was during export.
5: Don't know what you mean with that.
6: anti-aliasing an internet search can explain this in detail
7: This is a sub option which controls the anti-aliasing quality.
