InstaLOD's raytracing capabilities allow users to quickly generate photo-real images with just a few clicks using both CPUs and GPUs.
The automatic PBR material conversion allows for seamless usability between the real-time viewport and the AMD Radeon™ ProRender scene. The powerful post-processing stack enables final-shot compositing and product shots to be generated directly inside InstaLOD Studio.
¶ Getting started
To render a scene, navigate to the toolbar on the left-hand side of InstaLOD Studio and select the Raytracing icon . To start the render select the Play button in the Control Settings .
¶ Render Settings
The engine used for rendering currently only supports AMD Radeon™ ProRender
Raysampler Type:
- Sobol - casts rays in a uniform fashion
- Adaptive - prioritizes ray casting in noisy areas
- Random - cast samples randomly

Camera Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Active Camera | Select render camera |
| Lens Shift | Shifts the camera for fine adjustments |
| Tilt Correct | Tilts the camera for fine adjustments |
| Focal Tilt | The focal tilt of the camera |
| Aperture Blade Count | The Aperture Blade count of the camera. This changes bokeh shapes and affects the camera blur. |
| Exposure | Change the exposure of the rendered image |
| F-Stop | Change the depth of the focus area. Start with values below 0.5 to create a blurry background for the DOF effect. |
| Focus Distance | Specify the distance from the camera of what should be in focus. |
| Angular motion in degrees | Specify the strength that motion blur should take effect |
| Angular Motion Axis | Specify the angle that motion blur should take effect |
| Linear Motion Axis | Specify the axis that motion blur should take effect |
¶ Tone Mapping
Various tone mapping types allow for different image grading results. Depending on the type, different settings are enabled for finer control over image values and exposure.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Auto-linear | Photographic tone mapper that uses default camera characteristic values and the average luminance of a picture. |
| Reinhard | Performs Reinhard02 tone mapping. |
| Photometric | Photographic tone mapper that creates a photorealistic color grade. |
¶ Post-processing Stack
The Post-processing stack includes various filters and effects to complete entire product shots without needing to export the render into an image editing program.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Anti Aliasing (MLAA) | Adds anti-aliasing to the final image |
| Sobel Filter: | Black/White line effect |
| Posterize: | Creates a poster effect. Specify levels of color depth. |
| Bloom: | Adds bloom to bright areas in the image. Adjust using Radius, Threshold, and Weight. |
| Motion Blur: | Adds a directional blur using axis direction and strength |
| Denoise: | Denoise the image using different algorithms. |
- Median - recommended to keep the value of 1
- AI Denoising - Auto Setting
