設定を調整する

Overteでは様々な設定を調整して、自分の好みに合わせて動作させることができます。これらの設定の多くは、HUD(デスクトップモード)またはタブレット(VRモード)を使って変更します。

The Tablet and HUD

In VR, all of your settings are found in your Tablet. The Tablet also gives you easy access to any apps that you install. Pull up the tablet by clicking the menu button on your controller.

In Desktop Mode, rather than the tablet you have a smaller version called the "Heads-up Display" or HUD. It contains the exact same options as the Tablet (settings, apps, etc), but it takes up less space on your screen. If you would rather, you have the option to use the Tablet instead, just like in VR. To enable the Tablet, first enable the Developer menu by going to Settings > Developer Menu. Then, go to Developer > UI > Desktop Tablet Becomes Toolbar and toggle it off.

Enter or Exit VR Mode

You can enjoy Overte with or without VR equipment such as head mounted displays (HMD), hand controllers and audio headsets. Our Desktop mode contains many of Overte's features such as audio, basic movements and gestures, and the ability to travel to different domains.

Keep in mind, however, that the most immersive and powerful experience is when you use VR equipment. Only then will you be able to interact with people in 3D, track body movements, and easily engage with the objects around you. Once you have set up your VR equipment, you can easily switch between VR mode and Desktop mode.

注釈

In order to use VR you must launch Overte straight into VR first, as Overte will not load VR plugins unnecessarily for desktop users. Once you have launched into VR, you will be able to switch between VR and Desktop mode with ease.

Switch between Desktop and VR mode by simply putting on or taking off your headset. You can also select the mode from the Display menu at the top of your screen when in desktop mode, or on your Tablet in VR. Click the Display menu, then select your desktop or VR device.

Set Your Perspective

You can choose how you view things around you by changing your perspective. To change your perspective:

  • In Desktop mode, go to View in the menu on the top left corner or use your keyboard Camera Controls.

  • In VR mode, open your Tablet and go to Menu > View.

  • In VR mode, open your Tablet and go to Menu > Settings > Graphics.

Setting

Description

Graphics Preset

Select the Graphics Preset which best suits your desired performance. Generally a lower graphics setting will sacrifice some visual details for increased performance, however "Low Power" is intended to reduce the resource usage of Overte to lower its impact on the rest of your system.

Local Lights

Allow local light sources to light nearby objects.

Bloom

Make bright areas look brighter by simulating a light-bleed halo effect around them.

Custom Shaders

Shaders are fancy effects which you may see on avatars or entities in Overte.

Deferred Rendering

Advanced rendering technique, primarily for fancy lighting effects. You may want to disable this if you have limited memory bandwidth or want to prioritise anti-aliasing.

With this enabled, the following options are revealed:

  • Shadows

  • Ambient Occlusion

  • Haze

Field of View

Set your field of view using the slider. A higher value lets you see more of your surroundings.

Resolution

Adjust the resolution using the slider. This affects how sharp Overte appears on your monitor or screen.

Anti-aliasing

Smooth out the edges on your screen by choosing your anti-aliasing method.

  • TAA

  • FXAA - Typically the cheapest and fastest.

  • MXAA - Note: Not available when Deferred Rendering is enabled.

LOD Settings

Control at which point Overte hides objects to allow smooth operation. High detail means that it will only start to hide objects when your frame rate gets very low. Low detail means that it will start hiding objects early to give you the smoothest experience.

Refresh Rate

Choose the frequency that Overte updates its graphics buffers. Most mid-range computers run well on 'Interactive'.

Full Screen Display

Select the screen to display Overte on.

Allow Camera Clipping

Disable to allow object geometry to block your camera; when enabled your camera may pass through walls, furniture, avatars or any other entities.

注釈

Disabling Deferred Rendering will typically increase performance as it is lighter, however on some GPUs you may find that it runs better with it enabled. You should test how Overte performs on your machine when changing this setting.

Account Security Settings

You can change your account security settings in Overte.

  • In Desktop mode, go to Settings > Security in the menu on the top left corner.

  • In VR mode, open your Tablet and go to Menu > Settings > Security.

Setting

Description
