Mixes the glow with the underlying color to avoid increasing brightness as much while still maintaining a glow effect.

+ Output color as they came in. This can cause bright lighting to look blown out, with noticeable clipping in the output colors.

<constant name="ENV_TONE_MAPPER_REINHARD" value="1" enum="EnvironmentToneMapper">
- Use the Reinhard tonemapper.
+ Use the Reinhard tonemapper. Performs a variation on rendered pixels' colors by this formula: [code]color = color / (1 + color)[/code]. This avoids clipping bright highlights, but the resulting image can look a bit dull.
</constant>
<constant name="ENV_TONE_MAPPER_FILMIC" value="2" enum="EnvironmentToneMapper">
- Use the filmic tonemapper.
+ Use the filmic tonemapper. This avoids clipping bright highlights, with a resulting image that usually looks more vivid than [constant ENV_TONE_MAPPER_REINHARD].
</constant>
<constant name="ENV_TONE_MAPPER_ACES" value="3" enum="EnvironmentToneMapper">
- Use the ACES tonemapper.
+ Use the Academy Color Encoding System tonemapper. ACES is slightly more expensive than other options, but it handles bright lighting in a more realistic fashion by desaturating it as it becomes brighter. ACES typically has a more contrasted output compared to [constant ENV_TONE_MAPPER_REINHARD] and [constant ENV_TONE_MAPPER_FILMIC].
+ [b]Note:[/b] This tonemapping operator is called "ACES Fitted" in Godot 3.x.

<constant name="ENV_SSR_ROUGHNESS_QUALITY_DISABLED" value="0" enum="EnvironmentSSRRoughnessQuality">
Lowest quality of roughness filter for screen-space reflections. Rough materials will not have blurrier screen-space reflections compared to smooth (non-rough) materials. This is the fastest option.
