SSGI

Enabled	Toggles SSGI on and off. It enables indirect illumination in the scene.
Preset	Quality preset of SSGI. Raytracing — raytracing calculations for SSGI are enabled Raytracing + Denoise — raytracing calculations along with the noise reduction for SSAO are enabled Custom — adjust the feature's quality manually

Customizable Settings#

The following settings are available when the Custom preset is selected.

SSGI custom settings

Screen-Space Global Illumination Settings

Intensity

Brightness of illumination:

By the minimum value of 0, the illumination is the darkest.
By the maximum value of 1, the illumination is the brightest.

Intensity = 0.2

Intensity = 1

Intensity Boost

Increases the SSGI intensity by raising the value to the specified power.

The power of 1 (no boost).
The power of 2.
The power of 3.
The power of 4.

Color Clamping Intensity

Intensity of TAA color clamping at zero pixel velocity:

lower values result in more accumulated frames combined, which reduces noise flickering, but increases ghosting effect (to reduce ghosting in this case you can use the Color Clamping Velocity parameter).
higher values up to 1 (default) reduce ghosting effect, but increase flickering

Color Clamping Velocity

Sensitivity of TAA color clamping to pixel velocity change. This parameter is used to reduce ghosting effect for lower Color Clamping Intensity values: it automatically increases clamping intensity for higher velocities, and disables clamping for low velocity values.

Threshold

Threshold for the ray-traced SSGI calculation.

Denoise Options#

Denoise	Toggles noise reduction for the SSGI effect on and off.
Radius	Radius of the area to be affected by noise reduction.
Quality	Noise reduction quality level defining the number of samples used: Low — low quality Medium — medium quality High — high quality Ultra — ultra quality Higher values provide better reduction, but for a performance cost (choosing Medium is enough in most cases).
Intensity	Noise reduction intensity: higher values provide a less noisy, but more blurred result.
Gaussian Sigma	Sigma parameter of Gaussian blur used for noise reduction. This parameter controls the amount of blur applied.
Threshold	Threshold value for color difference of neighboring pixels: blur is applied when the color difference is less than the threshold value. Notice Setting too high values result in blurring the whole image.
