Overview

What VolumeFog does

Creates procedural volumetric fog, smoke or illuminated atmosphere inside a Fusion 3D scene with shape, noise, density, lighting and scattering controls.

VolumeFog is actual 3D participating media inside the scene: the volume occupies space, the camera looks through it, and lights can scatter through it before Renderer3D returns the scene to 2D.

When to use it

Add 3D fog to a Fusion scene
Create volumetric shafts around 3D lights
Build smoke-like atmospheric volumes
Add depth to abstract 3D graphics
Create animated noisy haze
