Vray environment fog - Using non atmospheric gizmos as gizmos for the fog effect

[Dariusz Makowski (Dadal)]

Yo

Dump question - how can I make object a gizmo ?

[stevesideas]

Just select it as a gizmo in the vrayenvfog gizmo selection rollout. Make sure you turn off render in the objects properties..

[Dariusz Makowski (Dadal)]

Okayyy that was pretty...simple..

Any idea how to do that for a standard fog? volumetric fog?

[stevesideas]

I think you can only use standard gizmos for max fog

Ok thanx, will fight with vray then... I got pretty big city... 50km... to fog up and glow up in night time o.o

[stevesideas]

You could comp some fake fog into the scene using the inverted zdepth method..

[Dariusz Makowski (Dadal)]

yea thats true... but its not about fogging it. More like glowing it up from lamps light so its more ''accurate'', I suppose I could highlight the hot spots/or layer pass with lamps and then glow it up but well see... So far my 50 cm scame works great / 50km is disaster
