How to Adjust the Appearance of a VR Scene

Yulio’s built-in Adjust Appearance editor allows you to customize the appearance of individual scenes in your project before presenting to your client or team. Keep reading to learn how to make simple adjustments to lighting and color in your scenes and enhance the overall look of your VR projects.

How to use the Adjust Appearance editor

The Adjust Appearance editor can be used post-render, once your VR scenes have been uploaded to your Yulio account. 

To get started, open a project in your Yulio account. From the Project Edit page, under the Scenes tab, select the blue Adjust button or click on the Adjust Appearance icon next to any scene.

Within the editor, you can adjust the following settings: Exposure, Highlights, Shadows, Saturation and White Point.

Use the slider tool below each setting to control the intensity of the effect. You can also input a numerical value in the number field or use the increment and decrement buttons for more precise adjustments.

As you make adjustments, you can preview your changes and compare the updated scene to the original by using your mouse to select and hold the Compare icon.
