Atmosphere tab
| Blue Horizon
|
Drag the RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) sliders to adjust the sky's color. The I (Intensity) slider moves all three RGB sliders in unison. |
| Haze Horizon
|
One of the most useful settings for adjusting overall light exposure. Can simulate many exposure settings, such as white-outs from the sun and darker, closed-iris settings. |
| Blue Density
|
Affects the overall color saturation of the sky and fog. Control individual saturation channels with the RGB sliders. Drag the I slider to the right to make colors brighter and more vibrant; move it all the way to the left to make colors duller, eventually fading to black and white. |
| Haze Density
|
Controls the level of dull, gray haze in the atmosphere. Effective for simulating scenes with high levels of smoke and man-made pollutants, as well as simulating fog and mist. |
| Density Multiplier
|
Affects the overall atmospheric density. At lower settings, it creates a feeling of "thin air," and at higher settings, it creates a very heavy, smoggy effect. |
| Distance Multiplier
|
Adjusts the Viewer's perceived distance. A value of 0.0 effectively turns off WindLight's influence on terrain and objects. Values greater than 1.0 simulate greater distances for thicker atmospheric effects.
|
| Max Altitude
|
Adjusts the altitude calculations for atmospheric lighting. At later times of day, this is useful for adjusting how "deep" the sunset appears. |
