Performance and Quality Menu
See also Performance & Optimization
VR Mode allows the user to adjust the quality of rendering according to their computer’s performance capabilities and the scene’s needs. For best visual results, we recommend using Quality mode. Stage settings can be used to allow for special cases. If performance gets slower, switching to Balanced or Performance can help get a speedup.
