Composer¶

The Composer is where post-processing effects are applied to enhance the final rendered output. It allows you to configure a series of processing nodes, an output node, and one or more camera nodes.

At minimum, a composition requires:

A camera node: Captures the view from a camera in your scene.
An output node: Displays the final processed image.

The camera’s color output slot must be connected to the output node’s color input slot. This basic setup renders the camera view on screen without any post-processing. Additional nodes can be inserted to apply effects, and multiple camera nodes can render additional views, such as UI overlays, minimaps, or backview mirrors.

SSAO¶

The SSAO (Screen Space Ambient Occlusion) Node calculates ambient occlusion in screen space, enhancing depth perception by shading crevices and contact areas where light would be naturally occluded.

To properly integrate SSAO into a scene, you need a merge node that combines SSAO with the scene color. The chosen blending mode determines how SSAO affects the final image. The SSAO effect works by darkening occluded areas. For this reason we reccomend a Multiply blending mode for accurate results. With this blending mode, darker areas get darker and brigth areas stay the same. Otherwise, another good blending mode is Soft Light. This blending mode adjust brightness non-linearly resulting in lighten midtones, making the effect look softer. It is more subtle than Multiply but less physically accurate.

Luminance Map Width	An Integer attribute defining the width of the luminance map. This must be a power of 2. Only applicable when Mode is set to REINHARD2_ADAPTIVE. Default is 256.
Luminance Map Height	An Integer attribute defining the height of the luminance map. This must be a power of 2. Only applicable when Mode is set to REINHARD2_ADAPTIVE. Default is 256.
Maximum Luminance	A Float attribute specifying the maximum luminance value. Controls how bright the brightest areas can be. Range: 0 to 20.0. Default is 4.
Minimum Luminance	A Float attribute specifying the minimum luminance value. Controls the darkest areas of the image. Range: 0 to 3.0. Default is 0.01.
Average Luminance	A Float attribute defining the average luminance used for tone mapping. Range: 0 to 1.0. Default is 1.0.
Middle Grey	A Float attribute that sets the middle grey value, influencing the overall brightness balance. Range: 0 to 1. Default is 0.6.
Adaptation Rate	A Float attribute controlling the speed of adaptation in dynamic scenes. A higher value results in faster adaptation. Default is 1.

Input	Description
Color Input	An RGBImage input that receives the image to be processed by the tone mapping node.

Output	Description
Color Output	An RGBImage output providing the processed image result.

Currently, different modes of tone mapping are supported

Mode	Description
LINEAR	No tone mapping, only exposure.
REINHARD	Simple Reinhard tone mapping.
REINHARD2	Enhanced Reinhard tone mapping.
REINHARD2_ADAPTIVE	Adaptive Reinhard tone mapping.
UNCHARTED2	Uncharted 2 cinematic tone mapping.
CINEON	Optimized filmic tone mapping.
ACES_FILMIC	ACES-compliant tone mapping.
AGX	Advanced filmic tone mapping.
NEUTRAL	Balanced and neutral tone mapping.

Vignette¶

The Vignette Node applies a gradual darkening effect towards the corners of the image, creating a subtle focus on the center. This effect is commonly used to give images a vintage appearance or to draw the user’s attention.

Field	Description
Name	A String attribute specifying the name of the node for reference.
Enabled	A Boolean attribute that controls whether the vignette effect is applied.
Amount	A Float attribute that controls the intensity of the vignette effect. The value ranges from 0 (no effect) to 1 (full effect), with a default of 0.4.

Input	Description
Color Input	An RGBImage input that receives the image to be processed by the Kawase Blur algorithm.

Output	Description
Color Output	An RGBImage output providing the node result.

Additional Features¶

Render to Texture: Compositions can be used as inputs to a Material’s Albedo channel, enabling render to texture functionality. This allows for dynamic textures such as reflective surfaces or custom UI elements rendered in real-time.
Optional Use: Compositions are not mandatory. In scene settings, you can opt to render a single camera view directly without applying post-processing.

This flexible system empowers developers to create visually stunning and reusable post-processing setups tailored to their projects.
