NotePad.PNG Notes:

The Environment Tools are used to set:-

  • the skybox - to configure the cloud cover
  • the weather - from rain to snow to clear. Weather can also be set from the Main Menu - Settings options and by using Session rules
  • the wind speed - which will affect the swaying motion of Speedtrees
  • the snowline - the altitude for assets that have a snow covered appearance option
  • the date - for assets that have different seasonal options
  • the lighting - the light levels and colours through a 24 hour period
  • the water colour and water surface effects (smooth, rough, etc)
  • the road traffic - enabled/disabled
  • the world origin (geographic coordinates and altitude)
PencilTips.PNG The Time of Day is set using Session rules such as WikiLink.PNG Startup Option Rule and WikiLink.PNG Time and Rate Rule
