Post-FX
The following settings are available for Post-FX:
Lens
Chromatic Distortion | Creates a chromatic abberation effect. |
Glow | Intensity of Glow. |
Glow Threshold | Threshold at which intensity glow should be applied. |
Lense Flare | Simulates a lens flare on very bright parts. |
Dirt Lense | Multiplies a dirt effect into the glow. |
Glow & Glare
The Glow & Glare feature is an advanced extension to simulate the aperture diffraction of real camera lenses or the usage of additional filters, also called "star-filter". This effect drastically increases photorealism, while giving a better feeling for intensities.
The sensitivity and intensity of the effect depend on the Glow & Glow Threshold values. To simulate different filters and apertures, some presets can be chosen or used custom.
Enabled | Enable the Glow & Glare. |
Force High Quality | Increases the internal resolution for more detailed calculation. This option is heavy on the GPU! |
Presets | |
Custom Properties | |
Blade Count | Aperture blades. |
Blade width | Spread of the Bursts. |
Glare | Fade between Burst and Glow. |
Glare fx1, fx2 | Math function to define the falloff. |
Glare intensity | Output intensity. |
Rotation | Burst rotation. |
Threshold | Additional input threshold. |
Tone Mapping
While Depence renders in HDR (High Dynamic Range) values, the Tone-Mapper defines how HDR images get composed back into an LDR image.
The auto-exposure will detect the average intensity on the screen, and level the current Camera Exposure automatically.
Depence is working in a color space called ACEScg to provide a larger spectrum and simulate the behavior of real Cameras.
Auto Exposure | Automatic exposure. |
Color temperature | Adjust white balance. |
Exposure | Offset to the current exposure. |
Spectrum | Cuts the current hue shift caused by the ACES tonemapper. |
While ACEScg looks most realistic, it can produce colors that aren't expected while programming a light-show. By using the Spectrum value it is possible to clamp the space to get back to plain sRGB values.
