Better Fog: Height Fog, Light Scattering & More

Add depth and feel to your game. Achieve greater realism or craft a truly unique look. Improve or completely transform your game's appearance without concerns over transparents, water, or skyboxes.

Better Fog is a post-processing effect offering a wide variety of features to craft numerous looks and styles, from realistic to stylized. This effect is not a volumetric solution, ensuring optimal performance. It also includes additional features such as a plane or sphere analytical world fog, a custom fog particle shader, and more. Crafted using Shader Graph (URP) and the Amplify Shader Editor (Built-in), Better Fog supports transparent objects without the need to modify their shaders.

Features:

• Screen Space Light Scattering (SSMS): Use it to create a more realistic feel for the fog.
• Gradient Fog Colors: Create your own custom look or use one of the many gradients included with the asset.
• Skybox Fog Integration: Ensure consistent visuals with any skybox.
• Distance-Based Fog: Default fog with the option to use radial distance.
• Height Fog: Atmospheric height fog.
• Volume Blending: Use post-processing volumes to blend between various presets.
• Transparents & Particle Support: The fog works well with particles and transparent objects.
• World Fog: Customize and add fog using planes and spheres with custom shaders.
• Custom Fog with Particles: Includes procedural fog particle FX.
• Fog Energy Loss: Imitate the loss of photon energy due to fog scattering.
• Simple Integration: Easily add the effect to your project.
• Versatile Customization: Adjust each feature as needed and use keywords for better performance.
