Description

Heading

Pitch

Rotates the environment map as if a person observing it looked up or down.

Filter

Diffuses the environment map using one of the following techniques:

None	The environment map is not diffused.
Diffuse	Diffuses the environment map so that when it is reflected off a surface it will create the impression of a diffuse material. This option causes a Radius property to appear that controls the degree to which light is diverted from its regular path.
Scatter	Partially diffuses the environment map so that when it is reflected off a surface it will create the impression of a material that partially scatters light. This option has a Radius property that controls the degree to which light is diverted from its regular path, and a Strength property that controls the amount of light that gets diverted.
Anisotropic	Diffuses an environment map with individual controls for the degree of horizontal and vertical diffusion.
