Photo checklist

Torley's settings (as of 2012-08-20) for awesome photo shoots used in official Linden Lab materials — and just for fun! Many of these are overridden debug settings:

Rendering quality

• RenderVolumeLODFactor = 8
  • Smooths out jaggies on spheres and other curvy objects.

Depth of field

Optimized for "creamier" bokeh and softer DOF appearance — which has the side benefit of somewhat higher performance. Optional: tap Ctrl-0 a few times to zoom in and narrow the field of view, creating a more intimate relationship with the tightly-focused subject matter.

• CameraFNumber = 2
  • Adjust per scene: lower it to something like 0.050 if zoomed out and shooting tilt-shift-style cities
• CameraFieldOfView = 2.5
• CameraFocalLength = 250
• CameraMaxCoF = 20
