LightVoxelProbe Class

Enums

BAKE_INTERNAL_VOLUME#

Name	Description
BAKE_INTERNAL_VOLUME_HALF = 0	Bake internal volume (voxels that don't touch geometry) in half resolution.
BAKE_INTERNAL_VOLUME_FULL = 1	Bake internal volume (voxels that don't touch geometry) in full resolution.

BAKE_QUALITY#

Light baking quality preset of the voxel probe. Each preset includes recommended common baking quality settings, such as number of light rays simulated and sampling quality, that affect the time consumption of light baking and the final quality.

Name	Description
BAKE_QUALITY_DRAFT = 0	The lowest sampling quality and number of rays simulated but the highest iterativity.
BAKE_QUALITY_LOW = 1	Low sampling quality and number of light rays simulated.
BAKE_QUALITY_MEDIUM = 2	Stable quality level is good for most cases.
BAKE_QUALITY_HIGH = 3	High sampling quality and number of light rays simulated is quite enough for release production.
BAKE_QUALITY_ULTRA = 4	Ultra baking quality might be useful to get rid of small inconsistencies on the release production.

BLEND#

Name	Description
BLEND_ALPHA_BLEND = 0	The alpha blend mode of light blending.
BLEND_ADDITIVE = 1	The additive mode of light blending. This option offers more flexibility in lighting control. you can use it to blend lighting of several voxel probes together and control them separately (e.g. make a separate voxel probe for an indoor emissive light source and blend it with another voxel probe with lighting baked from the sky, having the ability to enable and disable them separately). Notice Voxel probes with additive blending enabled cannot be used to add lighting details (e.g. creating a small high-detail voxel probe inside a large low-detail one). Such probes do not replace each other, as they are blended instead.
BLEND_MULTIPLICATIVE = 2	The multiplicative mode of light blending.
