Discussion from class today helped me solve my issue. Fixed it by randomizing the offset of the halton sequence

Sampled with 16 to 64 rays this time

8 to 128 rays. 1% error of 99% confidence interval. 8 seconds runtime. getting some weird patterns in the blur even though Im using base 2, 3, 5, and 7 halton sequences

sample counts for minimum 8 rays and maximum of 128
