Talk:Kappa Shader

Discussion page for sharing ideas and asking questions on the development of the Kappa Shader wiki

Beanie 04/04/21: I'm guessing the main page should be relevant to the current published release, i.e. Kappa 3.1a. How do you feel about having another page or section for Kappa 4.0?

Beanie: Do you want to aim for a complete list of EVERY setting option? At the moment (10/04/21 10:43 BST) the table jumps from Air Coefficients to Clouds, missing out all the other options on the Air menu (Fog Sea Level, Mist, etc). Do we need to think about how the table is to be structured so that the settings hierarchy is followed?

I feel a two column table may not be sufficient.

Yeah i'd have it cover all settings since it kinda seems reasonable to just go for the full thing, and the jump from Air Coefficients to Clouds is because thats the settings order in 4.0, and since the release will happen fairly soon I'd rather update it to 4.0 already.

I'm happy to switch to Kappa 4.0 Beanie (talk) 12:42, 10 April 2021 (CEST)

Question: in order to create or edit the tables did you have to type/copy in all the plain text script that produces the table, or is there an easier way? I can't seem to find the toolbar! -- Beanie (talk) 15:00, 10 April 2021 (CEST)

I think I'm getting the hang of it a bit now.

Do you think we should signify which are the "go to" key settings that average users may want to tweak for maximum quality vs performance trade-off? And any ideas how?

Strikes me that launching into the detail of Air Coefficients so early might put casual users off??? "I only wanted to know how to make it run faster/get path tracing!!!" -- Beanie (talk) 22:34, 10 April 2021 (CEST)
