Obstacle Map: Water drops, eyelashes, dirt, etc on the camera lens will also cause diffraction
effects.
Diffraction intensity: Controls diffraction/glare intensity.
Diffraction Frequency: Controls the frequency of coloring in diffraction effect. Higher values
will make the patterns denser.
Scattering: Enable Scattering
Scattering value: Commonly known as bloom – occurs when the light is scattered inside the
lens before reaching the film.
Devignetting: Enables devignetting.
Devignetting value: Vignetting is an artifact which darkens the image through the edges due to
camera optics. Now you can partially or completely remove it by dragging the slider from 1000 to 0.
Vignetting is activated by default.
Maxwell Materials
Support for Maya native materials
• Automatic translation of Maya native shaders:
o Lambert
o Phong
o PhongE
o Blinn
