Opens camera settings:

Image Modified – Enables/disables automatic calculation of exposure. When enabled, ignores set camera exposure. Transition time between exposure can be set in Edit > Preferences > Interaction >

Auto exposure time.

Image Added – Picks focus point.(Shortcut: T)

Image Modified – Enables composition guides overlay. Right-click opens the Composition guides settings dialogue.

Image Modified – Adjusts the Exposure bias value.

Image Modified – Sets the auto-exposure max range value.

Image Modified

Opens navigation settings:

Image Modified – Enters Free look mode. (Shortcut: `) See the Freelook section of the Navigation video.

Image Modified – Enters Collision mode. It allows the camera to collide into objects instead of going through them. Works only in Free look mode. (Shortcut: C) See the Collision section of the Navigation video.

Image Modified – Navigates

around cursor ray hit. See the Center of rotation section of the Navigation video.

Image Modified – Navigates around target.

Image Modified – Navigates around selection.

Image Modified – Increases the mouse precision for navigation. This option is useful for fine camera adjustments. 

Move speed – Specifies the speed at which the camera moves. The value is in meters per second. See the Move Speed section of the Navigation video.

Eye height – Sets the eye height for the camera in meters when in Free look mode and Collision mode is enabled. Visible only when Collision mode is enabled. See the Eye Height section of the Navigation video.

Image Modified – Opens advanced collision settings. Visible only when Collision mode is enabled.

Step height ratio – Adjusts sensitivity when climbing steps or obstacles. Higher values allow stepping on higher surfaces.

Height tolerance – Specifies the height up to which no collision is detected. For example, if you have small rocks or grass below that value, they are ignored and the camera does not bounce up and down.

Gravity – Specifies the acceleration applied on the camera when collision is enabled.

Opens render settings:

Image Modified –

Resumes rendering.

Image Modified – Pauses rendering.

Image Modified – Enables/disables rendering of opacity maps. Note that opacity works as a clipper - it is either fully transparent or

fully opaque.

Image Added – Enables color correction post processes.

Image Modified – Sets the resolution of the render. Available options are: 25% of the current camera resolution, 50% of the current camera resolution, current camera resolution, 25% of the viewport resolution keeping current camera aspect ratio, 50% of the viewport resolution keeping current camera aspect ratio,

viewport resolution keeping current camera aspect ratio.

Image Modified – Specifies the viewport render

mode. Available view modes are:

Beauty – Previews the complete render.
Atmosphere – Previews the atmospheric effects Simple fog 1, Simple fog 2 and Scattered fog.
Background – Previews the image background.
Diffuse Filter – Previews the pure diffuse surface color. 
Global Illumination – Previews the diffuse surface global illumination.
Lighting – Previews the diffuse direct surface lighting.
Reflection – Previews the reflections on the surface.
Refraction – Previews the refractions on the surface.
Specular –  Previews the surface specular highlights.
Self-Illumination – Previews the self-illumination of surfaces.
Bumped Normals – Previews the normals generated by bump maps, in screen space.
Z-Depth – Previews the z-depth of the scene.
Material Mask – Previews the randomly assigned material IDs at initial scene load.
Object Mask – Previews the randomly assigned object IDs at initial scene load.

Image Modified – Sets the quality of the render. Available options are: Low, Medium, High, Ultra, Custom. The presets can be modified my changing the render_quality_presets.json file located in  "%AppData%\Chaos Group\Vantage"

Low – Sets the rendering quality using the following values:

GI – Off;
GI bounces – 1;
Reflection bounces – 2;
Refraction bounces – 4;
Coat – On;
Shading graph – Off;
Noise threshold – 0.5;
Opacity maps(clip) – Off;
Shading graph for glossy/GI – Off;

Medium – Sets the rendering quality using the following settings:

GI - On;
GI bounces – 2;
Reflection bounces – 2;
Refraction bounces – 8;
Coat – On;
Shading graph – On;
Noise threshold – 0.1;
Opacity maps(clip) – Off;
Shading graph for glossy/GI – Off;

High – Sets the rendering quality using the following settings:

GI – On;
GI bounces – 3;
Reflection bounces – 8;
Refraction bounces – 8;
Coat – On;
Shading graph – On;
Noise threshold – 0.05;
Opacity maps(clip) – On;
Shading graph for glossy/GI – Off;

Ultra – Sets the rendering quality using the following settings:

GI – On;
GI bounces – 4;
Reflection bounces – 15;
Refraction bounces – 15;
Coat – On;
Shading graph – On
Noise threshold – 0.01;
Opacity maps(clip) – On;
Shading graph for glossy/GI – On;

Custom – Sets the rendering quality using the settings from the Render settings tab.

Image Modified – Adjusts the Denoiser: 0 disables the denoiser, while 100 shows the denoised image. A mid-value shows the denoised image until it reaches enough number of samples, then it starts to blend with the raw image. Note: images with denoiser > 0 and denoiser = 0 will be different in reflections and refractions. Visible only when denoiser type is set to Vantage in Edit > Preferences > Render Defaults.

Image Modified

Enables NVIDIA upscaling denoiser. Switches the render core to render at half the resolution and upscales the result to match the required resolution. Available only when Primary denoiser in Edit>Preferences>Render defaults is set to NVIDIA OptiX AI and driver version is 530 or newer.

Image Modified

Sets the quality of NVIDIA DLSS denoiser and upscaler. Available only when Primary denoiser in Edit>Preferences>Render defaults is set to DLSS Ray Reconstruction and driver version is 537.13 or newer.

Performance (4X)  – Switches the render core to render at half the resolution and upscales the result to match the required resolution and performs spatial and temporal anti-aliasing.
DLLA (1X) – Renders at full required resolution and performs spatial and temporal anti-aliasing.

Expands the Animation Editor.
