Normals filtering – Determines how normal and bump maps are filtered:
None – No filtering is applied to normal and bump maps, providing high accuracy but potential noise and flickering.
Linear – Normal and bump maps are filtered linearly, just like other map types, potentially affecting material appearance with varying camera distance and render resolution.
Roughness Modulation – Utilizes linear filtering for normal and bump maps while also adjusting material roughness to maintain consistent material appearance regardless of camera distance and render resolution. Default filtering method in Corona 11 and newer.
Roughness mode – Determines whether roughness or glossiness mode is used as a default one in the Corona Physical Material. Note that this setting only influences newly created materials.
IOR mode – Determines whether IOR (Index Of Refraction) or Disney Specular mode is used as a default one in the Corona Physical Material. Note that this setting only influences newly created materials.

Default Frame Buffer – Sets the frame buffer type used for rendering. The available options are:
Corona VFB - Uses Corona's own customized frame buffer with extra functionality (recommended).
Update interval [ ms ] – The interval (in milliseconds) at which the VFB is periodically updated. Decreasing this value gives more fluid feedback at the expense of processing power that could otherwise be spent on the rendering itself. When the VFB refreshing takes too much of the rendering time, Corona adaptively lengthens this interval to up to 5 times of the set value to maintain adequate rendering speed.
VFB Title – Window title of the Corona VFB. Using the little dropdown arrow next to the setting shows a list of variables that can be used in the VFB title to include various statistics and information (for example: current noise level, total elapsed time, number of rendered passes, current date and time):
