Cell Lighting

Cell Lighting Tab

• Lighting Template
  • Template: Select from a predefined list of Lighting Templates. The list of templates can be found and edited under World -> Lighting Templates.
  • Inherit: Select any of these check boxes to override the parameters from Lighting Template. This will enable the fields below.
• Ambient: Select color of the ambient light.
• Fog: Select the color of the fog.
  • Fog Near: Sets the distance at which the fog begins.
  • Fog Far: Sets the distance at which the fog reaches 100 percent.
  • Fog Power: Edits the fog's curve. A value of 1 is linear, less that one pushes the curve toward the near value, and a value above 1 pushes the curve toward the far value.
  • Fog Max: Not used.
  • Clip Distance: Sets the distance of the clipping plane in an interior. Anything past this value will not be displayed.
• Directional: Select color of directional light.
  • Rotation: Sets the angle of the directional light.
  • Fade: Sets the fade distance of the light.
• Show Sky: If checked, enables sky and weather as if this cell was an exterior.
  • Region: The Region to use Weather data from.
  • Use Sky Lighting: Whether the sky's lighting conditions should affect the lighting in the cell.
• Light Fade Distances: The distance at which regular omni lights start to fade out and when they are faded out completely. This has no impact on shadow casters.
  • If the "begin" distance is set to zero, then the game pulls a default value from the INI files — specifically, the *fLightLODStartFade* setting from the *Display* setting. If the "end" distance is set to zero, then it defaults to — *fLightLODStartFade* plus *fLightLODRange*.
