Patchwork 3D Enterprise 2021.1 X5

Post-Processing (Editor)

Available in: Matter: Editors > Post-Processing

Post-Processing edit_postprocess_1.png is an editor used to create, enable/disable, combine, program and assign 2D post-processing effects interactively. It creates and modifies a blend of effects, their properties, and the way they are combined.

Once post-processing blend is assigned to the Patchwork 3D scene, viewing of the created effects is instantaneous; adjustment of the various effects is done in real time.
