= Level Settings window =
This window holds settings for the level, such as global fog and skybox.

=== Skybox settings ===

[[File:window_levelsettings_skybox.png]]

* '''Active''': will enable or disable the skybox.
* '''Color''': if no texture is set, the skybox will use a flat color defined here.
* '''Texture''': loads a cubemap texture to be used as skybox.

=== Global Fog settings ===

[[File:window_levelsettings_fog.png]]

* '''Active''': enables or disables the global fog.
* '''Culling''': sets if the fog should cull objects that are behind the 'End' distance.
* '''Start''': sets the distance to the camera where the color fading should start.
* '''End''': sets the distance to the camera where the color fading should be fully done.
* '''Falloff Exp''': sets the attenuation factor that will be used for the fading.
* '''Color''': color for the fog.

=== Decals ===

[[File:window_levelsettings_decals.png]]

* '''Global Max Triangles Per Decal''': this here will set how many triangles decal meshes will have unless individually tweaked.
* '''Reset Created Decals''': this will reset all created decals to use the above value.

=== Directional light ===

[[File:window_levelsettings_directionallight.png]]

* '''Active''': will toggle the directional light for the level.
* '''Direction''': 3D vector indicating where the light will point at.
''' '''Get from camera''': copies the direction from the viewport camera.
* '''Diffuse''': the diffuse color for the light.
* '''Sky color''': objects will reflect shades of this color on their upper side.
* '''Ground color''': objects will reflect shades of this color on their lower side.
* '''Brightness''': brightness for the light.
* '''Cast shadows''': if the light should cast shadows.
* '''Shadow map bias mul''': tweak to move the shadow away from the light to remove shadow banding and artifacts.
* '''Shadow map slope scale bias mul''': tweak to move triangles even further away from the light if the angle to the light is steep.
* '''Shadow caster distance''': sets how far our light source will be when it comes to casting shadows. Increase to remove artifacts caused by shadows. A too high of a number will make shadows start to disappear.

=== Env Particles ===

The inputs in this tab control the parameters for the environment particles in the level.

[[File:window_levelsettings_EnvParticles.png]]

* '''Active''': will toggle the environmental particles.
* '''Color''': the particles will be tinted with this color.
* '''Brightness''': how bright the above color will show.
* Rest of parameters are explained in depth [[hpl3:engine:rendering#Environment Particles|here]].
=== PostEffects ===

[[File:window_levelsettings_PostEffects.png]]

==== ToneMapping ====
* '''MiddleGrey''': A real value that sets what should be considered the middle grey value.
* '''Exposure''': The total light that is allowed through the camera, increasing this value makes the image brighter. In the range of -10 to +10.
* '''WhitePoint''': A real value that sets which value that should be considered the brightest.

==== ColorGrading ====
* '''Color Grading texture''': 3D dds texture file defining the color grading map.
