    Attributes:
        frozen: [-f] A Boolean to produce "a frozen octree containing all the scene
            information. Normally, only a reference to the scene files is stored
            in the octree, and changes to those files may invalidate the result.
            The freeze option is useful when the octree file's integrity and
            loading speed is more important than its size, or when the octree is
            to be relocated to another directory, and is especially useful for
            creating library objects for the "instance" primitive type. If the
            input octree is frozen, the output will be also. (default: True)
        resolution: [-r] An integer that "specifies the maximum octree resolution.
            This should be greater than or equal to the ratio of the largest and
            smallest dimensions in the scene (ie. surface size or distance between
            surfaces)" (default:16384)
        max_set_size: [-n] An integer that "specifies the maximum surface set size
            for each voxel. Larger numbers result in quicker octree generation,
            but potentially slower rendering. Smaller values may or may not
            produce faster renderings, since the default number (6) is close to
            optimal for most scenes (Default: 6).
        turn_off_warns: [-w] A Boolean to suppress warnings (Default: False).

    Usage:

        # generate default oconv parameters
        ocvp = OconvParameters()

        # default values.
        print ocvp.to_rad_string()
        > -f

        # add modifiers file
        ocvp.turn_off_warns = True

        # check radiance parameters with the new values
        print ocvp.to_rad_string()
        > -f -w
