Options Auto Pause If enabled DeltaPix pauses realtime raytracing when the application loses focus When it regains focus the raytrace picks up from where it left off Default to Raytrace If enabled DeltaPix starts with raytracing on Turning on raytracing during real time editing might result in slower l responses Image Filtering Image filtering is a new technique that reduces the noise of pixels in the rendering It turns on a noise reduction technique for the first 50 passes of calculation and then turns it off At 100 passes an actual image filter is then applied to completely remove noise Enabling this option slows down the calculation rate of each pass but still speeds up the appearance of a complete image Maximum Resolution The resolution for example in pixels width by height of the 3D Viewport as well as output Snapshots Realtime Technology AG 2011 RTT DeltaPix User Manual 30 RTT Overview of User Interface Display Options World Axis Toggles visibility of the world XYZ axes This option is available only when raytracing is turned off Model Bounding Boxes Toggles visibility of bounding boxes around models Available only when raytracing is turned off Parts Bounding Boxes Toggles visibility of bounding boxes around parts in models Available only when raytracing is turned off Show Selection Outline Toggles visibility of the highlight that appears around active selections The highlight is useful
11. Performance Mode Quality Options Anti Aliasing Level controls the process of softening the unnaturally precise or stepped edges sometimes known as the jaggies that are created when a computer generated object is placed against a contrasting background This softening process is accomplished by using pixels of intermediate shades as a buffer between the object and its background The higher the value of Anti Aliasing Level the better the step removal but the greater the impact on performance The available settings will vary based on your video card Shadow Quality determines the smoothness of the ground shadow and self shadows Shadow Resolution determines the pixel dimensions for the map created for the shadow projections Environment Resolution determines the pixel dimensions used to clamp the HDR environment image Gloss Resolution determines the pixel dimensions that the reflection map is calculated at so as to determine the material gloss levels Performance Options Enable Performance Mode Activates a drawing mode in which all shaders are simplified significantly so as to dramatically increase the speed of realtime editing It is useful for models that are very large or have lots of textures and for ensuring animation play back consistently at 30 FPS Even if this mode is enabled the final image will still be rendered with the original shaders Realtime Technology AG 2011 RTT DeltaPix User Manual 33 RTT Overv
