Volumetric Fog feedback thread

[anonymous_user_f2b8b290]

I find it quite hard to get good results with the volumetric fog outdoors. It looks nice, but I kinda hoped it could replace screen space light shafts. Its basically impossible though to get nice light shafts without having everything be really fogged.

If you increase the global density, that’s going to happen. You only notice light shafts (shadows of light) if the fog is dense enough to have everything be heavily fogged. There are two ways to have stronger light shafts without heavy global fog:

1. Keep the global fog density low, but crank up the directional light VolumetricScatteringIntensity and put the ScatteringDistribution setting up near .9.
2. Keep the global fog density low, but increase it in certain areas with Volume particles.
