Lens Effects – Applies lens effect. The Lens Effects layer simulates real-world camera lens effects such as bloom and glare. See the Lens Effects example below.

Recalculate after X samples – Lens effects may reduce the FPS at larger resolutions if updated immediately (value = 1). When the value is > 1, the lens effects are updated after this many samples are accumulated.

Image Added

Size – Specifies the size of the filter as percentage of the image's diagonal.

Intensity – Multiplier for the bloom/glare source bright pixels. Increasing the value can boost the effect by simulating up to 20 times brighter source. Values lower than 1 can be used to produce subtle bloom/glare from overbright sources. 

Bloom – Controls the blend between bloom and glare. A value of 1 forces bloom to be applied to full extent and without any glare. A value of 0 removes the bloom completely and applies only glare. Values in-between blend the two effects proportionally.

Threshold – Sets a minimum value for the rendered pixels to be considered as lens effects source. The Bloom/Glare effect is generated only regarding pixels with larger value than the specified threshold.

Rotation – Rotates the final result, whether it is a filtered image or a procedurally created one.

Saturation – When the value is set to 0, the effects use the original hue of the bright pixels to create bloom and glare. Larger values intensify the hue set with the Cold/Warm option. 

Cold/Warm – When enabled, the Bloom/Glare effect is toned to cold hues. When disabled, the effects receive warm hue. The hue shift requires Saturation values larger than 0.

Aperture blades – Enables the Blades effect.

Sides – Sets the custom camera aperture blades number to be considered for the lens effects. This parameter directly controls the number of "rays" of the glare.

Blade rotation – Controls the rotation of the camera aperture and blades.

Streak blur – Determines the width of the angle at which glare rays spread. The larger the value, the wider the spread. If set to 0, rays are directional; if set to 1, glare rays spread out and completely blend together. 

Peripheral grating – Enables grating along the sides of the aperture shape.

Density – Controls the density of the grating effect in percent, where 100 is fully black.

Length – Controls the length of the grate lines.

Zoom – Controls the size of the halo around the lights.

Slope – Controls the direction of the lines.

Strength – Controls the strength of the blades effects.

Occlusion – When enabled, it controls the aperture shape by occluding part of it.

Symmetric – Enables symmetric occlusion of the shape. When disabled, the occlusion appears only on one side of the shape.

Percent – Controls how much of the shape is occluded.

Rotation – Determines the position of the occlusion over the shape by rotation.

Arc – Controls the arc of the occlusion. A value of 0 sets a straight line, while a value of 100 makes an arc.

Use obstacle image – When enabled, an obstacle image can be specified. The image diffracts the wave light when it goes through the small imperfections produced by the image. The file format can be HDR, PNG, etc.

Load obstacle image – Loads an obstacle image.

Zoom – Controls the size of the obstacle image. 

Rotation – Rotates the obstacle image. 

Strength – Controls the strength of the effect.

Use filter image – Enables a custom filter image that has central dispersion. Uses an HDR image as an input, that has a center point of scattering. It can be generated with different external applications.

Load filter image – Specifies the path to custom bitmap image (in HDR format) to use as filter.

Bloom – Applies bloom to the sceneBloom – Applies bloom to the scene. Bloom can be also be toggled on/off from the top toolbar icon(Image Removed).

Intensity – Multiplier for the bloom source. Increasing the value can boost the effect.

Threshold – Sets a minimum value for the rendered pixels to be considered as lens effects source. The Bloom

is generated only regarding pixels with larger value than the specified threshold.

Iterations (spread) – Specifies the size of the bloom spread. Larger values increase the spread but impact performance.

Image Added

Blur / Sharpen – Applies blurring/sharpening effect to the scene.

Blur Radius – Determines the radius in pixels used for blurring. Higher values lead to greater blurring effect. Zero disables the blur effect.

Sharpen Radius – Determines the radius in pixels used for sharpening. Requires a non-zero value. Higher values lead to more extensive sharpening.

Sharpen Amount – Applies sharpening to the image. Increasing the amount leads to a sharper image, while setting the amount to 0 switches off this filter.

Color balance – Applies color balance adjustments:

All – Applies adjustments to the overall color tone of the image.
Highlights – Applies adjustments to the bright (highlight) colors of the image.
Midtones – Applies adjustments to the medium (midtones) colors of the image.
Shadows – Applies adjustments to the dark (shadow) colors of the image.

The color corrections are additive in that the All correction affects all colors of the image, and the Shadows/Midtones/Highlights options adjust the individual components in the image on top of the All correction.

Image Added

Temperature – Adjusts the white balance of the image by specifying the color temperature in Kelvin. Lower values make the image bluer, higher ones make it more amber.

Magenta-Green tint – Adjusts the white balance of the image to make it greener (positive values) or more purple (negative values).

Color – Chooses a color to be the new "white point" for the image, adjusting all colors. Use it to pick a neutral color from the image (e.g. one that should be white or gray).

Image Added

Chromatic Aberration – Applies a chromatic aberration effect to the scene. See the Chromatic Aberration example below.

Value – Specifies the amount of chromatic distortion from the center to the edges of the viewport. See the Chromatic Aberration example below.
