VKC Rendering Settings

RenderingSettings_1

RenderingSettings handles the rendering settings of the world.

Label	Initial Value	function
`PBR`	true	Enables PBR lighting.
`Background Color`	#000000
`Directional Light`	blank	Set a Directional Light placed in the scene as the directional light for this world.
`Light Intensity`	1	Set the world light's intensity.
`Lightmap Intensity`	1	Set the light map's intensity.
`Fade In Time`	2	Set the white fade-in length on world enter in seconds.
`Shadow Type`	Round	Set the Shadow Type. `round` is a round shadow, and `normalshadowmap` is a normal shadow map. `normalshadowmap` is used with VKC Node Shadow.
`Shadow Bias`	0.001	Set the bias value on drawing shadows.
`Shadow Area Size`	3	Set the distance for drawing shadow in meter.
`Shadow Fade Size`	1	Set the fadeout size growing from the shadow's periphery in meter.
`Projection Near`	0.1	Change the near clipping distance.
`Projection Far`	500	Change the far clipping distance.
`Projection Degree`	70	Change the FoV angle. (default value recommended)
`Bloom`	false	Enable/disable bloom.
`Light Scattering`	false	Enable/disable light scattering.
`IBL`	false	Enable/disable IBL, or Image-Based Lighting.
`SSAO`	false	Enable/disable SSAO (screen-space ambient occlusion).
`Tone Map`	false	Enable/disable tone map.
`Priority List`		Set the render priority for world objects. Items with smaller values will be drawn first, and items with the same value will be drawn at the same time.

Bloom

RenderingSettings_2

Label	Initial Value	function
`Bloom`	false	Enable/disable bloom.
`Bloom Intensity`	0.2	Set the strength of the bloom.
`Bloom Threshold`	0.8	Set the lower limit of brightness at which the bloom takes effect.

RenderingSettings_3

Label	Initial Value	function
`Light Scattering`	false	Enable/disable light scattering.
`Scattering Intensity`	0.8	Set the strength of atmospheric scattering.
`Scattering Directivity`	0.68	Set the directivity, the degree of concentration of the scattered light.
`G`	0	Set the parameter to adjust the strength of IBL, or Image-Based Lighting.
`Distance`	150	Set the distance at which the light scattering starts.
`LightColor`	#FFFFFF	Set the color of the light.
`SunColor`	#D9D9FF	Set the color of the sunlight.

RenderingSettings_4

Label	Initial Value	function
`IBL`	false	Enable/disable IBL, or Image-Based Lighting.
`DiffuseSize`	512	Set the size of the diffuse map texture.
`SpecularSize`	512	Set the size of the specular map texture.
`SpecularMipMapCount`	6	Set the amount of mip maps used for the specular cube map.
`Diffuse Map`		Designate the image files for the Diffuse Map.
`Specular Map`		Designate the image files for the Specular Map. The amount of mip maps to set is designated according to `SpecularMipMapCount`.

RenderingSettings_5

Label	Initial Value	Value Range	function
`SSAO`	false	Enable/disable SSAO (screen-space ambient occlusion).
`Radius`	0.7	0.1 ~ 1.0	Set range of AO. For precise AO rendering, we recommend to set value within 0.5~0.8.
`Self Shadow Counter`	0.2	0.1 ~ 1.0	Prevents self-shadow counting on planes intended to be without AO. For precise AO rendering, we recommend to set value within 0.1~0.2.
`Attenuation`	3	0.0 ~ 3.0	Prevents AO drawing on distance places behind pillars, floating boards, etc.
`Minimum Depth`	0.02	0.0 ~ 0.1	Adjust occlusion threshold. Lowering this value may improve AO quality when AO intensity affects open spaces to be dark. (Intended to be left unedited unless needed)
`Color Bleed`	0.2	0.0 ~ 0.4	Creates a pseudo effect of color bleeding on AO which is caused by light bouncing. This feature is disabled when value is set to 0.0, or `HSP` is set to false.
`AO Ratio`	3	0.25 ~ 5.0	Set the AO intensity (concentration).
`HSP`	true		If enabled, background color will be blended on the AO black. This will prevent lighter spots from being too dark. Recommended to be set to `true`.
`Fake Bloom`	false		Designates whether to use the blur sample data for a pseudo-bloom effect. Effect intensity is determined by `Colbleed` value.

RenderingSettings_6

Label	Initial Value	function
`Peak Luminance`	1	The maximum brightness value of the monitor. 1.0 corresponds to 100 nits.
`Contrast`	1	The contrast level.
`Linear Start`	0.22	The starting position of the linear portion of the tone curve.
`Linear Length`	0.4	The length of the linear portion of the tone curve.
`Black Tightness`	1.3	The tightness value for dark areas. Increasing this value makes dark area deeper and more pronounced.
`Black Lower Limit`	0	The lower limit for dark areas. Increasing this value lightens the dark area.
