	* Intensity: ~~Increase~~ the ~~radius~~ of the sun		* Intensity: determines the visible strength of the sun
	* Alpha Mask:		* Alpha Mask: multiplier applied to the sky luminosity before comparing it to the alpha channel. Impacts how the strong the sun is behind clouds when the skybox texture is setup appropriately (with cloud intensity in alpha channel).
	* Distance falloff:		* Distance falloff: radius of the sun
	* Sample Count:		* Blur Passes: number of blur passes - will affect the length and appearance of the sun shafts
	* Blur size:		* Sample Count: number of samples taken per pixel for each blur pass (recommended to leave as default)
	* Blur radius:		* Blur size: affects the spread of each blur pass (recommended to leave as default)

	* Blur Passes:		* Blur Passes: defines the number of blur passes to create a â€œhaloâ€ effect around bright areas
			* Downsample: determines whether to run the blur passes at half-resolution
			* Sample count: width of the blur kernel in pixels
			* Blur spread: space in pixels between blur samples (recommended to leave as default)
			* Blur offset: recommended to leave as default

New page

This page provides information for users to make their own adjustments to the post-processing effects that are included in T:ANE

=Post-processing Overview=
T:ANE introduces a range of new features enabled by using graphic shaders to create post-processing effects similar to those used by photographers. These effects take data from a scene, modify it, and then renderer those modifications to the screen. A large range of effects are possible and the current range in T:ANE will be expanded over time.

We provide three options for post-processing in the Video Settings in-game, and an additional option to manually update the settings by activating the Advanced Tools

1. Launcher > Trainz Settings > Developer > Tick "Enable Advanced Debug Tools" 
2. Restart the game 
3. Launcher > Developer > Show Post-processing Effects 
4. In the new window, choose Mode > Manual 

[[File:Pp manual.png]] 
The "daytime high" settings are loaded by default for the manual settings (there are different defaults for nighttime). Note also that currently your changes are not saved after you exit the game. 
It is safe to enter any values and experiment with the limits, and settings that do have a maximum will override attempts to exceed those limits.
