302 Double Fog<br />

•<br />

Vanishing Point<br />

A vanishing point along the direction of increasing distance in the image is used<br />

to add fog. By default, the vanishing point is set to the center of the screen.<br />

Essentially, the fog is added in a radial pattern emanating from the vanishing<br />

point. So at the default center position, fog is added in a circular pattern with a<br />

greater amount of fog being added in the center while falling off at the edges.<br />

For instance, if you would like your fog to move in the direction of top right to<br />

bottom left, set your vanishing point towards the top right corner and the fog will<br />

be more intense at the upper right and fall off at the bottom left. However, in<br />

most cases, the vanishing point can be left in the center of the screen and you<br />

will obtain acceptable results.<br />

There is an on-screen control in the center of the image. By clicking and<br />

dragging the on-screen control, the position of the vanishing point can be<br />

adjusted.<br />

Fog<br />

Sets the amount of fog to be added to the scene.<br />

Min Depth<br />

Controls how much fog is added in the darker areas of the image.<br />

Max Depth<br />

Controls how much fog is added in the brighter areas of the image.<br />

Glow<br />

The Glow controls are used to add additional atmosphere and are useful in<br />

adding glow to highlights. By default, a wide selection of highlights are glowed<br />

in the image and blended with the Screen blend mode. This works well for<br />

adding additional fog. To add glow around highlights such as light sources, it is<br />

best to set the Blend mode to Add and lower the Selection > Range parameter<br />

to limit the areas of glow to only include the light sources.<br />

Blend<br />

Determines the blend mode to be used to create the glow effect.<br />
