Dalemation Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 I`ve been experimenting with fog and dust on my spooky forest. However, I have tried the fog at various settings and all renders appear the same to me. Has anyone got any idea`s? Quote
Iham Wrong Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 Have you tried a large volumetric light with a light shadow gel to make strange projected shadows? Might be a worth a try. Quote
Dalemation Posted February 18, 2004 Author Posted February 18, 2004 I haven`t tried it yet but I intend to. I want to get the fog sorted out first. This is another render without fog but with dust. Obviously the trees further back aren`t finished yet. They are images on two layers. If I add fog at different distances from the camera the renders appear identical to me. I must be doing something wrong. Quote
DarkLimit Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 The first image looks good, I also did some expirements with dust and I find it works very well. Iham Wrong made a great surggestion that I have not tried either, but breaking up the fog really adds alot to the scene..... here are some renders I did in V8.5 just using dust as the base effect, then another pic using dust and volumetric lighting......

Dalemation Posted February 18, 2004 Author Posted February 18, 2004 Those images look great Darklimit. That`s the sort of eerie atmosphere I want to get. The experiments I have done with dust work really well in an animation with a terbulence material added. I do prefer the first of my two images but I really need to see the more distant trees also. A solution may be to have the fog clear to reveal them during the shot. I will experiment more tonight with the fog and maybe also add a cookie image to the light that Iham Wrong mentioned. Quote
Iham Wrong Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 I attempted a few alpha blocks on the volumetrics. It's a bit flaky with some really strange results on negative lights. Has any one tried the alpha fog map since v8? Quote
Dalemation Posted February 29, 2004 Author Posted February 29, 2004 I`ve managed to adjust the fog at rendertime. Apparently Hash are looking into why it`s not possible to change it in the camera properties. Here is a new pic with volumetric light. I will finish and animate the scene now before I post again.

Grubber Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 The forest looks really spooky! I almost see ghosts in it! Nice work! Quote
KingSalami Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 great spooky forrest! I like the first render better with out the volumetric light Quote
