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

• 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

• 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 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

• 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

• 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.

• Enabled Adds a reference person at the 0,0 coordinates to the scene.

• Scale The scale of the reference person in meters.
