General Graphics Settings

This section demonstrates how to change render modes and adjust general graphic settings.

The Render mode can be changed in the General Graphic Settings. Each Render Mode changes Fuzor’s render drastically. Some settings are only available in certain Render Modes.

Realistic takes full advantage of all of Fuzor's rendering Techniques. In order to use Realistic Rendering your graphics card must support Direct X 11.

Basic is a good semi realistic view for editing.

Abstract is the most lightweight unfiltered render mode.

Museum ignores materials so that the view can focus on structure.

Light Visualization renders Lux values to easily see lighting hot spots.

Sketch simplifies the rendering to imitate a sketch. Surfaces and meshes are outlined.

Zoom controls the zoom of the camera.

Focus controls the focus of the camera.

Exposure controls the intensity of light.

Bloom controls the intensity of light diffraction.

Advanced Graphics Settings

This section provides detailed information about each of the advanced graphics settings.

Aperture controls the depth of field of the camera.

White Point controls the hue of pure white

Saturation controls the intensity of color.

AO Darkness controls the intensity of Ambient shadows that appear in corners on objects.

The Shadow Intensity slider controls the intensity of shadows in the near scene in realistic mode.

The Shadow Bias slider controls the depth bias of cast shadows. For best results the further away from the model the camera during render the higher the depth bias should be. When showing the detail in the model lower the depth bias to avoid light leaking under models.

The Enable Level of Detail check box toggles whether distant complex objects are simplified while the camera is moving. This option improves performance

The Show Backfaces check box toggles whether single sided meshes are visible from both sides. Models imported from Navisworks are likely to be single sided and when using those models in a project it is recommended that this setting is on.

Lens Flare Effect toggles whether a lens flare is visible when looking at the sun. The Ctrl + L hotkey toggles this setting.

Window Reflectivity controls reflections on glass objects.

High Quality Tree Render enables a higher level of detail on foliage from the content library. The Ctrl + T hotkey toggles this setting.

Both Realistic and Basic Render have additional Tone maps to further tune the visual output.

Realistic Warm

Realistic Nuetral

Realistic Cool

Default Basic

Bright Basic

Other Advanced Graphic Settings are only available for particular Render Modes.

Godray is available for realistic render. The Enable Godray checkbox toggles rendering of light rays and atmospheric perspective. In order to use this feature your camera perspective must be from within a building or out of direct sunlight.

The Intensity slider controls the intensity of Godray light rays.

With Godray

Without Godray

The Enable Screen Space Reflections enables ray casting for illumination. The associated slider tunes between 200 and 500 lines.

The Quality slider controls the quality of the screen space reflection

Basic Render has a separate slider and checkbox to control shadows the regular slider is disabled. Additionally In Basic Render cast shadows can be disabled entirely. This is useful for creating logistical renderings of your model.

The Shadows textbox toggles whether the shadows are displayed.

The Intensity Slider controls the Intensity of shadows.

During Sketch Render the Line Darkness and Line Weight can be adjusted. This applies to the outlines on meshes and surfaces.

Enable Emissive Light forces all lights to have a base emissive light. This setting is only available to Museum Render.

During Abstract Render mode textures can be toggled off and on using the Texture Options radio buttons.

System Settings

Learn how to optimize Fuzor’s performance.

The Systems settings allow the user to control the aggressiveness of render optimizations in some render modes as well as manage other system wide settings.

The Render Speed Optimizer improves render speeds when the camera is moving if the frame rate is low. This setting is available in Realistic, Basic and Abstract.

The Cull Small Object Distance slider sets the minimum distance away from the camera objects must be to not be visible. Culling is used to improve performance and raising the value associated with this setting may have adverse effects to framerate. This setting is available in Realistic, Basic and Abstract.

The Temp Folder button allows you to select a folder where temporary data is stored.

The Default button resets settings to default.

Default Hotkeys

This section demonstrates what the default hotkeys are in Fuzor and how to edit them.
