Lumen and Ray Traced Ambient Occlusion

[Skybalotte]

Hey! I have a problem with what seems to be ambient occlusion (or whatever it’s called for Lumen). The forest look unnaturally bright from a far distance, how do I increase the tracing distance?

The video is captured with Lighting Only.

The PPV has a setting that covers it, under the lumen tab.

Increasing ‘‘Lumen Scene View Distance’’ did the trick for me! Thanks!

Not working in 5.2 either. Seems they went on ahead and removed r.lumen.screenprobegather.screenspacebentnormal 0 preventing artists from being able to force this pass.

Update: r.lumen.screenprobegather.screenspacebentnormal 0 wasn’t removed but actually replaced with: r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.ShortRangeAO 0

I’m having the exact same problem, though in the 5.3 version. My Ambient Occlusion render passes are completely white, and my other texture passes (like Roughness, Base Color, etc) are extremely bright.

Should I just turn off Ray Tracing if that’s the problem?
