+ | =====Environment===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Preset== | ||

+ | |||
+ | ====Directional==== | ||
+ | The properties in this group control the directional light hitting the tree (which can be considered the sun). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Color== | ||
+ | The color of the directional light. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Intensity== | ||
+ | How much directional light exists in the scene. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Ambient==== | ||
+ | The properties in this group control both the ambient light hitting the tree and the colors shown in the background of the [[tooltree_window|Tree Window]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Sky== | ||
+ | The color used at the apex of the sky. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Horizon== | ||
+ | The color used for the horizon of the sky. | ||

+ | |||
+ | =====Ambient Occlusion (AO)===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | These properties allow you to tweak the result when you render [[kclighting# | ||
+ | |||
+ | The new AO value follows the formula:\\ | ||
+ | //AOnew = ((AO + Brightness - 0.5) x Contrast + 0.5) x (Max - Min) + Min// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Brightness== | ||
+ | Makes the AO brighter/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Contrast== | ||
+ | Increases the difference between light and dark AO values. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Min== | ||
+ | Sets the darkest value of AO. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Max== | ||
+ | Sets the brightest value of AO. | ||
+ | |||

+ | Clears ambient occlusion to white. | ||

+ | =====Shadows===== | ||
+ | ==Quality== | ||
+ | Sets the quality of shadows used. Higher quality equals sharper shadows, but also slower rendering in the Tree Window. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Bias== | ||
+ | Shadow maps can be plagued with problems on the edges of objects. This property allows you to push, or " | ||
