Default Orientation | Initializes the orientation of the environment in order to position it correctly with regard to the product. |
Diffuse:
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Exposure Correction | Allows you to adjust the influence of the exposure of the environment on the diffuse layer of a material. It is a coefficient applied to this contribution. This property can be adjusted in real time. |
Lightmap Coloration | Allows you to adjust the influence of the environment color on the diffusion of the materials using lighting textures. |
Specular:
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Exposure Correction | Allows you to adjust the influence of the exposure of the environment on the specular or reflection layer of a material. It is a coefficient applied to this contribution. This property can be adjusted in real time. |
Resolution | Allows you to define the resolution of the image used for adjusting the mirroring. |
High Quality Filtering | Eliminates whitening and aliasing effects environment reflections on sharp geometries in scenes with very intense areas. |
 Reflection of an environment featuring a high intensity area in a specular material without the High quality filtering option. |  Reflection of an environment featuring a high intensity area in a specular material with the High quality filtering option. |
Background:
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Alternative background map | Allows a high resolution texture in a low dynamic range format (JPG, PNG...) to be used instead of the HDR environment for environment materials. |
Exposure | Allows you to adjust the influence of the exposure of the environment on the background. Its value is a coefficient applied to this contribution. This property can be adjusted in real time. |
Altitude | Allows you to adjust the altitude of the background. |
Resolution | Allows you to define the resolution of the image used for the background. |
