Dynamic Fog & Mist Settings
Dynamic Fog & Mist is a lightweight, distance-based fog effect included alongside the main volumetric fog. It is ideal for quick atmospheric haze without the overhead of full ray-marching.
Creating a Dynamic Fog Volume
- Right-click in the Hierarchy and select Effects > Dynamic Fog & Mist > Fog Volume.
- A Dynamic Fog Manager is created automatically on the first volume.
- Click New Fog Profile or assign an existing profile.
- Position and scale the volume to cover the desired area.
Dynamic Fog Profile Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Base Altitude | Base height for the fog effect. | 0 |
| Density Exponential | Fog density using exponential falloff over distance. Combined with volume size for the final result. | — |
| Density Linear | Fog density using linear falloff over distance. | — |
| Tint Color | Base color of the fog. | White |
| Second Color | Secondary color blended via color noise amount. | White |
| Vertical Gradient | Color and alpha gradient from horizon (left) to zenith (right). Useful for reddish horizons at sunset. | — |
| Wind Intensity / Scale / Amplitude | Wind animation effect. Scale controls horizontal noise size; Amplitude controls vertical displacement. | 0 / 1 / 1 |
| Wind Turbulence / Direction | Turbulence strength and direction vector for wind movement. | 0 / (1,0,0) |
| Directional Light | Sun light diffusion intensity and color spread across the fog. | — |
| Dithering | Reduces banding artifacts. | — |
| Rendering Order | Controls render queue relative to other objects. | — |
Tip: Dynamic Fog is excellent for simple distance fog or skyline haze. For full 3D volumetric effects with lighting and shadows, use the main Volumetric Fog volumes instead.
