Large foggy areas - LulleBulle - 11-26-2012
Hi,
I'm trying to create an outdoor environment and since I don't have a skybox I'd like to cover some parts up with fog but the fog I tried (ps_area_fog.ps) is too small to be used since you'd need a 100 of those. Is there any other way of putting fog?

You have to mess with various colors, size and length..

You should be able to change the color of the fog in level setting by clicking on the white box.
The other attributes: Start determines how close to the player the fog starts, and End determines the limit of how far they can see in the fog. FalloffExp controls how opaque the fog is; the lower the number, the harder it is to see through the fog.

I worked once in the Unreal engine. You will surely think this is pointless, but it isn't:
When you made a level where you could see the "deep" or the "blackness" (actually the space where the grid is) the engine turned mad and began to make extra tris and finally crashed. I remember that something similar happened to me once, so you could make a coloured skybox, for your maps sake.
Maybe it works perfectly for you, but maybe other computers don't do what your computer does

It seems that Jens is looking at this thread
