trace:autobiasinteger1Allow the renderer to automatially adjust ray bias, 0 is off
trace:biasfloat0.01The user-set bias amount, typically small values to offset a ray to avoid artifacts such as shadow acne
trace:displacementsinteger1Trace displacements (seen in reflections and refractions, etc) 0 is off
trace:samplemotioninteger0Whether motion blurred objects appear in ray-traced results. When 0, the motion blur of other objects hit by rays launched from the object with this attribute will be ignored. When non-zero, motion blur will be taken into account by rays launched from an object with this attribute

falloffpowerfloat1For use with points, if not supplied, or set to zero, the points will have a hard edge. A value of 1 is a "reasonable" value that emulates the usual cosine based falloff; this will likely be the goto value for most people doing volumetric particle effects.

Values between 0 and 1 makes the falloff faster, eroding the point faster - point has "less presence". Values higher than 1 (up to infinity) makes the falloff slower to the point of being non-existent.
