Hey there,

i want a Quality Menu in my Application just like this
https://pirron.one/pool/

is there a way to change quality Levels (like in Unity where you can define whats low, medium, high, ultra and then switch them in Code or similar)?

Thanks ^^

Hi @cw_bc,

You will need to program that:

  1. Create the required UI either using PlayCanvas elements or HTML.
  2. Code a script that responds to the UI and sets the appropriate values e.g. toggle post effects on the active camera on/off.

Is it possible to change the global Shadow Quality (shadowAtlasResolution or similar) while runtime?
some really performance heavy settings?
Or maybe enable / disable shadows?
I cannot find a way to do this globally instead of take every single render Component and enable / disable it directly on them. Or is this the beste practise?
And especially while using Clustered Lightning also changing these settings on runtime.
Because i think, since i have a lot of Realtime Lightning (wich i need for the purpose of the App) this is what consumes the most of the Performance

Well you need to change that setting per light, an easy way to do that is to search for all light components and batch update any e.g. shadow setting:

this.app.root.findComponents('light').forEach(light => {
   e.g. toggle shadows on/off
   light.castShadows = !light.castShadows;
});

For clustered lights you can change some settings on runtime similarly but you can’t toggle them on/off. That requires project reload.
