Unigine::RenderEnvironmentPreset Class

Header: #include <UnigineRender.h>

The class represents an environment preset. Each preset has settings that can be get/set by using methods of the class.

To get an instance of the class, use the Render::getEnvironmentPreset() method:

Source code (C++)
// get the second environment preset
RenderEnvironmentPresetPtr preset = Render::getEnvironmentPreset(1);
