+ Sets the method for generating the radiance map from the sky. The radiance map is a cubemap with increasingly blurry versions of the sky corresponding to different levels of roughness. Radiance maps can be expensive to calculate. See [enum ProcessMode] for options.

The [Sky]'s radiance map size. The higher the radiance map size, the more detailed the lighting from the [Sky] will be.
See [enum RadianceSize] constants for values.

<constant name="PROCESS_MODE_QUALITY" value="0" enum="ProcessMode">
+ Uses high quality importance sampling to process the radiance map. In general, this results in much higher quality than [constant PROCESS_MODE_REALTIME] but takes much longer to generate. This should not be used if you plan on changing the sky at runtime. If you are finding that the reflection is not blurry enough and is showing sparkles or fireflies, try increasing [member ProjectSettings.rendering/quality/reflections/ggx_samples].

+ Uses the fast filtering algorithm to process the radiance map. In general this results in lower quality, but substantially faster run times.
