Dynamic Fog & Mist 2 (Built-in) · Quick Start

Quick Start — First result in 5 minutes

Follow these steps to add fog to your Built-in RP project. No scripting required.

Step 1 — Import the package

Open Window > Package Manager, locate Dynamic Fog & Mist 2 in My Assets and click Import. If you downloaded the .unitypackage manually, double-click it and import all files.

Step 2 — Choose your integration method

Dynamic Fog offers three mutually exclusive approaches. Pick one:

Method	Best for	How to enable
Camera script	Most projects	Add `DynamicFog` (or `DynamicFogExclusive` for mobile) component to your main camera.
Post-Processing Stack v2	Projects already using PPSv2	Install PPSv2 from Package Manager, then import `PostProcessingSupport.unitypackage` from the DynamicFog folder. Add the effect via a Post-Processing Volume.
Custom fog materials	Maximum mobile performance	Assign DFM/DFR materials to your objects and add `DynamicFogManager` to an empty GameObject.

Important: Do not mix methods. Use only one integration approach per project.

Step 3 — Configure fog (camera script method)

With the DynamicFog component selected on the camera:

Select a Preset from the dropdown (e.g., Fog or HeavyFog) for instant results.
Choose an Effect Type — start with Desktop Fog Plus + Sky Haze for the best visual quality.
Adjust Alpha (overall fog opacity), Color, and Height to taste.
Optionally assign a Sun reference (directional light) so fog reacts to the day/night cycle.

Step 4 — Verify in Game view

Enter Play Mode. You should see animated fog in the scene. Press F to cycle fog styles and T to toggle fog on/off in the demo scenes.

Step 5 — Explore demo scenes

Open any scene under DynamicFog/Demo/ to see pre-configured examples. Scenes 1–4 demonstrate the image effect; scene 5 shows custom fog materials; scenes 6–7 cover fog of war.
