Capture - Rendering Settings

Remarks

• These macros combine several capture properties to achieve sensible settings
• ambient lighting and haze settings are controlled via separate macros
• I like to use the macro for low render settings in a startup cuelist as it helps PCs with less powerful graphics cards to open capture

• ActionScript.SetProperty.Boolean
• ActionScript.SetProperty.Float
• ActionScript.SetProperty.Enum

• Visualiser.Capture.AutomaticQuality
• Visualiser.Capture.BloomAmount
• Visualiser.Capture.AtmosphereContrast
• Visualiser.Capture.AtmosphereSpeed
• Visualiser.Capture.SpillLighting
• Visualiser.Capture.CaptureRenderingSettings

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to Formats and syntax

• “Visualiser.Capture.AutomaticQuality”, false turns auto-quality off
• Visualiser.Capture.BloomAmount sets the Bloom Amount
• Visualiser.Capture.AtmosphereContrast sets Smoke Variation
• Visualiser.Capture.AtmosphereSpeed sets Smoke Speed
• Visualiser.Capture.SpillLighting turns Spill Lighting on or off
• Visualiser.Capture.CaptureRenderingSettings sets the actual Rendering Settings Detail

• make this macro available
