Scene Environment

Environment settings shape the world around the scene content. Use them to adjust the background and surrounding feel so the scan or model sits in a clearer, more comfortable viewing context.

Steps: Expand scene settings section → Select the Environment scene section → Expand all collapsed fieldsets (e.g. the clouds section which is collapsed when at default values)

Interface elements

Element	Details
	Atmosphere Enable the physically-based sky shader (sun, atmosphere, and clouds) instead of a static skydome image. Default: Off

Sun

Element	Details
	Sun Elevation Set the vertical angle of the sun in the sky, from -90° (below horizon) to 90° (directly overhead). Default: 0.4
	Sun Direction Set the horizontal compass direction of the sun, from 0° to 360°. Default: 180
	Turbidity Control atmospheric haze: low values give a clear sky, high values a more hazy appearance. Default: 10
	Rayleigh Adjust Rayleigh scattering, which controls the blue tint of the sky and sunset color. Default: 2
	Mie Coefficient Set the amount of Mie scattering, which affects haze and sun glow intensity. Default: 0.005
	Mie Directional G Control the directionality of Mie scattering, affecting how tight the sun glow appears. Default: 0.8
	Sun Light Source Enable a directional light in the scene synchronized with the sun position for realistic shading. Default: On

Clouds

Element	Details
	Cloud Coverage Set how much of the sky is covered by clouds, from 0 (clear) to 100%. Default: 0
	Cloud Density Adjust the opacity and thickness of cloud formations. Default: 0.4
	Cloud Scale Control the scale of the cloud noise pattern — larger values produce broader cloud formations. Default: 0.0002
	Cloud Speed Set the speed at which clouds move across the sky. Default: 0.0001
	Cloud Elevation Adjust the apparent height of the cloud layer in the sky. Default: 0.5

Fog

Element	Details
	Enable Fog Toggle scene fog, which fades distant objects into a color to simulate atmospheric depth. Default: Off
	Fog Color Set the color that distant objects fade into when fog is enabled. Default: #aaaaaa
	Fog Near The distance from the camera at which fog begins to appear. Default: 1
	Fog Far The distance at which fog reaches full opacity and objects are completely hidden. Default: 50

Lights

Element	Details
	Ambient Light Set the intensity of the ambient light that illuminates the scene uniformly from all directions. Default: 0.5
	Ambient Light Color Choose the tint color for the ambient light. Default: #fffdee
	Splat Lighting Apply ambient light to gaussian splats, affecting their brightness and shading. Default: Off

Ground Plane

Element	Details
	Ground Plane Toggle the ground plane, a flat surface rendered below the scene. Default: Off
	Ground Color Set the fill color of the ground plane. Default: #223322
	Ground Y Set the vertical position (Y coordinate) of the ground plane. Default: 0
	Water Shader Apply an animated water shader to the ground plane for a realistic water surface effect. Default: Off
	Wave Strength Set the amplitude of the water surface distortion. Default: 0.15
	Wave Speed Control how fast the water waves animate. Default: 0.003
	Wave Size Set the scale of the water wave pattern. Default: 20
	Reflection Bias Adjust the reflection offset to fine-tune how the water surface reflects the scene. Default: 0.1
	Reflection Strength Set the intensity of the water surface reflections. Default: 0.9

LCC viewer interface elements

Element	Details
	Lights Note Informational note about splat lighting support for this viewer.
	Background Color The solid background color shown when no skydome image is set. Default: #000000
	Background Opacity Set the transparency of the background color, from fully transparent to fully opaque. Default: 1
	Skydome Upload or link a panoramic image (JPG/PNG/GIF) used as the scene background skydome.
	Skydome Templates Choose from a set of pre-made skydome images to quickly set the scene background.
