AR Shadow, Reflection & Light Catcher

The AR Shadow, Reflection & Light Catcher allows you to easily illuminate video with scene lights.

How to enable

1. Check Pixotope World Settings > AR > Enable Light Catcher

Parameters

• Diffuse Override and SpecularOverride determine light strength and proportion of diffuse to specular component.

• Light Multiplicative Power and Light Additive Power control blending light with the video. SceneColor = SceneColor + Video * Light * Multiplicative + Light * Additive theory is that Multiplicative can brighten the video and additive adds color.

• Light After TAA if checked light compositing happens after TAA, it is more expensive but looks better when using DLSS or ScreenPercentage < 100

• Add GI adds Global Illumination to Catcher

The Shadow/Light catcher material uses the AR video as Base Color.

Excluding lights
