Rendering
These commands allow you to set the graphics parameters of [SkyReal] VR. [They] can be useful [for optimizing] performance[;] for instance, toggling off SSAO will increase FPS.
You can find these commands in the Rendering options of the right menu.

How to Use
Anti-Aliasing (AA)
[IMAGE: Anti-Aliasing icon — original at /icons/T_AntiAliasing.png]
[Anti-aliasing refers] to the smoothing of aliased, or jagged, lines when displayed on a [screen]. In [SkyReal] VR, there are several anti-aliasing options you can choose from: FXAA and TXAA.
-
FXAA (Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing): A post-processing technique that smooths edges with minimal performance cost.
-
TXAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing): A more advanced technique that uses temporal data to reduce flickering and [produce] smoother edges.
SSAO

Toggle Screen Space Ambient Occlusion. SSAO is an effect [that] approximates the attenuation of light due to occlusion. This is generally best used as a subtle effect, in addition to standard global illumination, that darkens corners, crevices, or other features to create a more natural, realistic look.
Auto Exposure

Toggle auto exposure (also known as eye adaptation). [This feature] causes the exposure of the scene to automatically adjust to recreate the effect [you experience] as [your] eyes adjust when going from a bright environment into a dark environment or [vice versa].
Toggle Shadows

[Activate or deactivate] shadows [in your scene].
Tips
-
If you are experiencing low frame rates, try toggling off SSAO and Shadows first, as these are the most performance-intensive rendering features.
-
Auto Exposure can help make transitions between differently lit areas of your simulation feel more natural and immersive.
-
Choose FXAA for better performance or TXAA for higher visual quality when configuring anti-aliasing.
