Visible Environment

The Visible Environment allows you to create a secondary environment which is only visible to the camera (backplate), reflections and refractions. The primary environment will still be used for lighting.

To create a Visible Environment:

1. Add a second Modo Environment (Modo > Item > Create Environment).
2. Set Environment Use to Visible Environment.

The following Environment Item settings control the Visible Environment:

• Visible to Camera - The Visible Environment will be used as a backplate image.
• Visible to Reflection Rays - The Visible Environment will be visible in reflections.
• Visible to Refraction Rays - The Visible Environment will be visible in refractions.

Once a Visible Environment has been created, its settings can be accessed using the Render Toolbar > Visible Environment button.

NOTE: Environment Medium settings are ignored in the Visible Environment.

Top Left: No visible environment; Top Right: Visible to Camera (backplate); Bottom Left: Visible to Reflections; Bottom Right: Visible to Refractions.
