Best way to create soft environment fog? scatter fog? environment fog? phoenix fd?

[BeneZ]

Hello,
which is the most recommended way to create fog for a huge landscape in Maya?
Someone told me once, that he was using a Volume Grid because it rendered faster. Is that true? Is that created in Phoenix FD then?

(I know I could easily spend again days with testing all this, but hopefully someone can point me the right direction)

Thanks!

For huge landscapes specifically, you could try the Aerial Perspective (it requires a V-Ray Sun light), but it's the fastest to render.

Here's some docs on it: https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...ialPerspective
Here's a tutorial on using the Aerial Perspective (the tutorial renders with V-Ray GPU, but the same approach applies to regular V-Ray)

Hope that helps.
