fog + skybox

(mrfin) #1

Hello mapping types -

The map et_ice has superb fog/lighting effects in it - nice yellowish sunlight in thin misty haze. What I’m looking into doing is using the same for a map with a sky box that has a projection of sunny mountains on it.
Idea being that from fair distances the mountain surroundings are still visible through the mist - which would look v nice and suit the map
Before I attempt this thought I’d ask – Is it possible? - and if so can anyone give me any guide-lines and/or pointers?

thanks :cool:

You can find all answers in the threads on fog on here… be aware that fog will drop your FPS considerably. There is an old thread about the battery fog that will give most needed answers.
The main feature of ice is an ambient of like 25 though. The general brightness is not done with fog, but with this incredibly high ambient. I wouldn’t call that superb technique lol.
