Toolbars

Enters Move mode. (Shortcut: W). Use move gizmo's center cube to place objects on surface normal. Use Shift + move gizmo's center cube to place objects on surface without changing object orientation. Right-click opens the Move Transform dialogue. Details Not available when in Live Link.

Enters Rotate mode. (Shortcut: E). Right-click opens the Rotate Transform dialogue. Details Not available when in Live Link.

Enters Scale mode. (Shortcut: R). Right-click opens the Scale Transform dialogue. Details Not available when in Live Link.

Translates an object's pivot point. Right-click opens the Translate Pivot dialogue. Details Not available when in Live Link.

Enables Transforms snapping (Shortcut: S). Right-click opens the Snapping options dialogue.  Details  Visible only when Move, Rotate, Scale, or Translate pivot is selected.

Opens the Chaos Cosmos Browser window. Details Not available when in Live Link.

Creates a new camera from current view. Not available when in Live Link. (Shortcut: Ctrl + K)

Creates a new scene state with all necessary scene sub-states. Not available when in Live Link. Details

Opens camera settings:

– 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.

– Picks focus point.(Shortcut: T)

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

– Adjusts the Exposure bias value.

– Sets the auto-exposure max range value.

Opens navigation settings:

– Enters Free look mode. (Shortcut: `)

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

– Navigates around cursor ray hit.

– Navigates around target.

– Navigates around selection.

– 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.

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.

– 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:

– Resumes rendering.

– Pauses rendering.

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

– Enables color correction post processes.

– 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 Interactive denoiser in Edit>Preferences>Render defaults is set to NVIDIA AI and driver version is 530 or newer.

– 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.

– 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.

– 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.
