Realtime Walkthrough Settings

These settings let you customize certain aspects of the Realtime Walkthrough, such as wind, movement speed, ambient sound, and more.

Walk Speed
Adjusts how fast you will move when pressing a movement key (arrow, W,S,A,D, or right mouse button).

Run Speed
Adjusts how fast you will move when pressing a movement key while simultaneously holding down the Shift key.

Amount of Wind
Adjusts how hard the wind will blow during a Realtime Walkthrough. The higher the wind level, the more plant models and UltraRes Plants® will sway in the breeze.

Note: Plant pictures do not move in the wind and will not be affected.

Amount of Wildlife
Determines the amount of birds and butterflies that appear during a Realtime Walkthrough. To adjust the wildlife, move the Amount of Wildlife slider to the desired setting.

Sound volume
Adjusts the volume of sounds played during a Realtime Walkthrough. To mute all sound during a Realtime Walkthrough, set the volume to zero.

Ambient sound
Selects which background sound or music is played during Realtime Walkthroughs. If this setting is set to Default, then the sound will be determined automatically based on the time of day.

Play
Click to preview the currently selected ambient sound.

Enable fire effects
Enables the visibility of fire during a Realtime Walkthrough. Fire effects apply to torches, fire pits, and fireplaces.

Adding a Custom Ambient Sound

You can import your own custom songs or sound clips for use when creating a movie or during a Realtime Walkthrough. Imported sounds must be in the 16-bit PCM format (the standard Windows format) and have the “.wav” extension.

To add a custom ambient sound:

1.   Create the following directory within Windows, and then copy your sound files to it:

c:\Program Files\ Realtime Landscaping Plus version\data\sound\ambient\

Where "c:\Program Files\ Realtime Landscaping Plus" is your program installation directory, and version is the software version number. On 64-bit systems, replace "Program Files" with "Program Files (x86)".

2.   If Realtime Landscaping Plus is running, then save your work and exit the program.

3.   Start Realtime Landscaping Plus again, and your ambient sound should appear in the Ambient sound list.

Tips:

•      The wildlife, sound, and wind settings only apply to Realtime Walkthroughs.

•      When the time of day is set to sunset, sunrise, or evening, all lights in your landscape design will illuminate during Realtime Walkthroughs.
