Full Settings Documentation
To simplify the shader settings: Remember that everything is organised as if it was a real life display system.
- If it's something to do with the world, before the camera captures it, it's in the World menu.
- If it's to do with the way the camera captures the image, it's in the Camera menu.
- If it's to do with the way the camera, computer, or transmission processes the signal, it's in the Encoding menu.
- If it's to do with the way the image is displayed to the end-user, such as the computer screen, it's in the Display menu.
