Volumetric Fog & Mist 2 (URP) · Common Tasks

Demo Scenes

The asset includes demo scenes to help you quickly explore and understand the available features. Make sure you have completed the Setup before opening them.

DemoScene

A thick layer of volumetric clouds floating over buildings with directional light shadows spreading across the cloud layer. If you do not see any fog effect, ensure Depth Texture is enabled in the URP Asset.

FogOfWarDemoScene

Demonstrates the Fog of War feature. Enter Play mode and move the capsule around — notice how the fog clears in a radius around the character as it moves. Examine the scripts in the demo folder for implementation details.

DemoShaderGraph

Shows how to integrate volumetric fog into transparent Shader Graph materials so that transparent objects blend correctly with the fog effect.

Included Fog Profiles (Presets)

The asset ships with ready-to-use fog profiles in Demo/Presets. Apply any of them to a fog volume's Profile field to instantly switch between fog styles:

  • Sea Clouds - large, soft cloud formations floating over the scene
  • Heavy Clouds - dense, tall cloud layer with detail noise and shadows
  • Low Clouds - semi-transparent sky-level clouds with subtle turbulence
  • Fog - standard volumetric fog with distance-based falloff
  • Heavy Fog / Heavy Fog 2 - thick fog layers at different height ranges
  • Mist / Windy Mist - lightweight mist, with or without turbulence
  • Foggy Lake - dense, low ground fog with cyan tint
  • Frosted Ground - ultra-thin frost layer hugging the ground
  • Toxic Swamp - dark green low-lying toxic fog
  • Sand Storm 1 / Sand Storm 2 - tan-colored fog with wind and turbulence
  • Smoke - dark billowing smoke with high turbulence
  • Distance Fog / Distant Fog Only 1 / Distant Fog Only 2 - background-only atmospheric haze
Tip: Presets assume the demo scene's world scale. If your project uses a different scale, adjust Noise Scale proportionally and enable Scale Noise With Height on the profile to auto-adapt noise density to your volume size. You can also enable Detail Noise to add a secondary noise layer that helps break uniformity at large scales.
Tip: Demo scenes are a great way to learn. Duplicate a demo scene and experiment with the settings to understand how each parameter affects the result.
