Key Features

1. The Quick-Access Toolbar

A sleek, compact toolbar that provides instant, one-click access to your most frequent commands. The toolbar's custom buttons can even perform different actions based on a left or right click.

Create FStorm Objects: Quickly generate Proxies, Scatters, Tiles, and Material Projections from a submenu.
Lights & Cameras: Instantly add FStorm Plane, Disk, and Sphere lights from a dedicated submenu. Create an FStorm Camera from your current viewport with a single click.
Scene Conversion: A dedicated button allows you to convert either selected objects (left-click) or all objects in your scene (right-click) to FStorm.
Modifiers: A submenu provides one-click access to apply FStorm modifiers like Displacement, GeoPattern, Fur, and Volume to your objects.

2. FStorm Settings Rollout

This detailed panel gives you full, intuitive control over your render and scene settings.

Resolution Presets: Effortlessly switch between common aspect ratios like 16:9, 1:1, 4:3, and 3:2. Need to quickly iterate? Use the x2 and /2 buttons to instantly double or halve your current resolution.
Essential Parameters: Adjust critical rendering values like Max Samples, Noise Threshold, Light Samples, Max Depth, and GI Clamp Glossy from a single, centralized location.
Scene Toggles: Quickly enable or disable key scene features like Displacement, Geopattern, Fur, Volume, and Motion Blur. Switch to Greymode with a single click for fast and easy lighting tests.
Denoiser & LUT Control: Manage your denoising with a simple on/off button and options to add or delete the necessary render elements. Control your LUTs with an integrated system to load, refresh, and apply color grading effects from a specific folder.

3. FStorm Environment Rollout

Take complete control of your scene's lighting with this powerful, dedicated environment panel.

Global Environment: Set up your scene's primary lighting with a Multiplier and Color Picker, or load a bitmap. The toolbar allows you to load an entire folder of environment maps and even rotate them with a spinner to find the perfect angle for your lighting.
Alpha Environment: Gain granular control over how objects with an alpha channel are lit. Set a separate color or bitmap for the alpha environment and adjust its intensity with its own dedicated Multiplier.
