Hi Mark, Does your example mean you can also create this type of fog that's only floating low above the ground? Like in autumn when you get this white fog low above the meadows. In my example I simply used a curve that defines the thickness of the fog dependent on the distance of the camera. But that doesn't make it possible to use it in a shape. Well I mean when you see the edge of the shape. Does your example have soft edges like a cloud?

And instead of using a constant turbidity, I use a curve with Mapcoords.Z as input, resulting in a gradient atmosphere: turbidity is decreasing with height. I'll have a look at it again, will upload a sample project later... and how to implement the mysterious Map object?? (quote "Map object computes the mapping coordinate projection from the given parameter." - yeah, that explains it all ;) -Mark H Yes I prefer this type of fog too instead of the post one. From your answer I understand you use a sphere object for the fog? I use the atmosphere object (in the lights tab, the most right object). That one doesn't have a size. PS volumetric fog without volume shadows is fast, I prefer that to post effect fog because reflections etc are correct.
