Please :slight_smile:

Apparently this message is too short, but not anymore wahahahaha!

Don’t think its possible since fog color isnt a surface color, its the color of the volume, and how do you map a volume?

3D Map? too short too :stuck_out_tongue:

On the subject of “too short” how are you guys searching for things in this forum such as ‘IOR’ or ‘fog’?

5

“IOR*” or “Fog*”

if we tag threads with the three letter definition they work in the tag search tool, so if you find threads for ior tag them and they will be easy to find in the future

In a Raytrace material (the old one for Scanline) it’s possible to map the fog. You won’t get full volumetric shading, with self-shadowing and what not, but you will be able to see a 3D map inside a geometry.

I know it’s a volume. In Lightwave theres a “surface thickness” gradient, and i’d love it if at some stage Bercon were to put that in his Gradient (raylength refraction (thickness beyond surface), raylength reflection (control how far away a mirror reflects objects, for example)). For now though, i’d be happy to apply a fresnel gradient so i can make my ocean bluer towards the horizon and give it more of a green tint closer to the camera.

basically it would be nice to specify the fogs “falloff” curve.

at the moment , the fog parameter is not very precise and requires lots of quessing to get you where you want
