Eevee Volumetric Fog Ball

FAQ

The .zip doesn’t install in Blender

  • Please un-zip the archive and open the .blend project.

Is this an addon (script)?

  • No, it’s a plugin that uses a .blend file that has all the assets, textures and logic (node groups) inside for direct use. You can copy any of them over to any of your projects, while also preserving their original functionality. Before use, un-zip the archive.

How many fog balls can I have in a scene?

  • You can have 1, but it’s plenty to do the job.

Darken the environment and the ‘Global Light’ together

Fog Color
The color of the scene’s fog

Density
How thick the fog is

Falloff
How sharply or softly the fog ‘starts’ at the edges of the ‘sky fog controller’. A higher value produces a sharper result

Falloff
