Lighting

The Lighting settings control the scene's global lighting mode.

Foxel supports four lighting modes: Diffuse Only, Uniform Lighting, Image-Based Lighting, and Atmospheric Scattering. Each mode provides a different way of lighting the scene and can strongly affect the final look of the render.

Lighting Modes

Diffuse Only

Diffuse Only uses simple Lambert diffuse shading without specular highlights.

• Ambient Light Color
  Sets the color of the ambient light.

• Ambient Light Intensity
  Controls the strength of the ambient light.

Uniform Lighting

Uniform Lighting applies even lighting across the entire scene.

• Color
  Sets the color of the light.

• Intensity
  Controls the strength of the light.

Image-Based Lighting

Image-Based Lighting uses a cubemap for scene lighting and reflections.

• Cubemap
  Selects the cubemap used for lighting.

• Intensity
  Controls how strongly the cubemap affects the scene lighting.

• Blur
  Blurs the rendered background of the cubemap. This does not affect the lighting itself.

• Angle
  Rotates the cubemap around the Y-axis.

Atmospheric Scattering

Atmospheric Scattering simulates sky lighting based on atmospheric light scattering.

• Rayleigh Color
  Sets the Rayleigh scattering color.

• Rayleigh Density
  Controls the strength of the Rayleigh scattering.

• Mie Color
  Sets the Mie scattering color.

• Mie Density
  Controls the strength of the Mie scattering.

• Ozone Color
  Sets the ozone scattering color.

• Ozone Density
  Controls the strength of the ozone scattering.

• Phase
  Controls the scattering phase behavior.

• Intensity
  Controls the overall strength of the atmospheric scattering effect.
