# Scene ## Overview The Scene settings allow you to tweak the viewport image and add reference objects for a better sense of scale as well as adjust environment factors like clods, water or atmosphere. ## Parameters ### Lighting

Properties	Description
Sun Angle Horizontal	Moves the sun horizontally.
Sun Angle Vertical	Moves the sun vertically.
Pick Sun Position	Allows you to place the sun in the sky. Can be useful for matching the scene lighting to a custom HDRI.
Shadow Softness	Makes the shadows caused by the sun softer.
Sun Strength	The intensity of the sun.
Sky Strength	The intensity of the sky. The sky acts as an ambient light, lighting areas not hit by the sun.
Max Light Bounces	The number of bounces the sunlight can take in the scene. Ideally, this is >1.
Environment Map Enabled	Allows you to add a custom HDRI to the scene.
Environment Map	The referenced HDRI map and its strength.
Environment Lighting	Enables HDRI lighting and allows you to change its strength.

### Clouds

Properties	Description
Color	Changes the color multiplier of the clouds.
Quality	Adjusts the quality of the clouds.
Light Scattering	Controls how much light affects the clouds.
Coverage	Controls how much of the terrain is covered by clouds.
Density	The density of the clouds. Higher values create thicker clouds.
Scale	The base scale of the noise generating the clouds.
Detail Scale	The scale of the detail noise used in the clouds.
Height Scale	Scales the clouds vertically.
Height Offset	Raises or lowers the clouds.
Border	Controls how far the clouds reach outside/inside the terrain borders.
Atmosphere	Adds atmospheric mist to the scene.
Atmosphere Height	The height of the atmospheric fog.
Skylight Factor	Controls how much the ambient skylight affects the atmosphere.
Weather Scale	Affects the scaling of the clouds.
Offset X/Y	Allows you to shift the clouds in the X/Y direction.

### Water

Properties	Description
Surface Height	Affects the visible depth and distortion of the water.
Sea Level	Changes the general height of the water level.
Clarity	Adjusts how see-through the water is.
Color	The color of the water.
Coast Foam	Adds coast foam to the water in the intersection area between water and land.
Coast Foam Range	How wide the coast foam will affect the water.

### Atmosphere

Properties	Description
Strength	Controls the strength of the world scale atmospheric effect. This affects the whole visible scene to the horizon.
Scale	The range the atmospheric effect has.
Height	The vertical scale of the atmospheric effect.
Clamp Color	Limits the color range of the atmosphere.

### Reference Object You can set the position by hovering with the mouse cursor over the terrain while pressing **M** on your keyboard.

Properties	Description
Enabled	Adds a reference person at the 0,0 coordinates to the scene.
Scale	The scale of the reference person in meters.
