Does anybody know how to add fog to a scene?
I’m using the latest beta 1.4.2.
Under the Object Fog panel, I click on Apply, and it says Fog Applied to 4/4 materials, but I don’t see much happening in the viewport.
I also increased the End value for the Volumetrics (Eevee settings), but still no luck. I tried in both Cycles, and Eevee.
The Volume in the world settings doesn’t have anything connected to it, so I guess the fog is not working at the moment?
Its def not out on gumroad here
Sorry! It should be up right now. Tomorrow morning will double-check everything.
Hi @phoe-nix-art ,
Try playing with
Atmosphere > Density
Artistic Controls > Distance Scalar
controls. This is how I simulate fog to test out if material fog is working (@martinsh will be able to tell much more about how fog works and hopefully one day will write an article about it 
). This fills up the space with fog, but does not apply it to the objects. Whenever fog is applied to material (via Object Fog section) - each material gets its own fog node attached which simulates fog for this object.

Thank you @karlis.upitis
I tried playing with those settings. I guess what I’m looking for is not doable (yet?)
Something like this
I am planning to add a separate mist layer in later release, but for now try lowering the ‘Scale Height’ value to get foggy/misty morning shots. Value from 200-1000 should do the trick.
With these clouds it would be super cool to have pressure slider from current high pressure to really low flat plane sagging clouds
Then as general slider feedback, artistic control - distance scalar usable scale is 0-50 while the slider goes all the way to 500, and same for new cloud thickness that I find it going 0.1 ballpark while the slider goes to 10
First of all I absolutely love the addon - great work!
I wanted to report that with this latest version (v1.42 Beta) I’m having the complete overexposure issue when using the “Use Real World Physical Values” checkbox. I use the photographer addon as well and changing the exposure values on the camera didn’t fix it. My GPU is a GeForce GTX 1070, I’m using Driver version 457.51. My CPU is a Ryzen 7 3800X EDIT: The workaround with changing the angular diameter doesn’t work in Eeevee or Cycles. My Blender version is 2.92.0
I’m going to check if I’m running the latest drivers in case that might be causing the issue. I’ll also update Blender if that doesn’t work. Would you like me to submit a bug report somewhere?
EDIT: Nvidia Driver version 471.96 didn’t fix it, neither did upgrading to Blender 2.93.3. Non-physical values are working fine, but for at least one scene I was counting on the physically-correct values.
I’m amazed by the all the options this add-on provides! You did a really great job!!
However, I’m still unable to figure out a setting which works for a clean cosmic blue night sky with a lot of stars visible, the sun completely set and no clouds. Does anyone found settings which catter for it?
The settings you could play with are:
Here’s a rough test:
You can still get brighter stars, but I would probably play in post at that point. When I tried increasing the brightness in Blender, the result was unnatural, kind of over sharpened.
Hey, I’m really impressed how you’ve improved the performance on the new release, I love it!
I have a suggestion for further clouds development since right now there’s not much you can play with. A really great addition would be a possibility to add multiple cloud layers on different height levels. Only this little change would give so much more variation to renders already I think. Either way, the clouds look amazing already and I can’t wait to see more upcoming updates!
Hi and thanks for making such a powerful addon! I noticed that 1.4.2 has a more yellow cast in the sky/atmosphere at low sun angles (say less than 10) than I get in 1.3.1, all other settings the same. I assume this is to be more accurate/realistic which makes sense. Example renders are below using the same settings on earth preset, -75 azimuth, 7.6 elevation, 200000 intensity, 5700K temp, etc. Is there a way to tweak my settings so I can get 1.4 to look more like 1.3’s pastel blue-pink sky/atmosphere? I could certainly keep using 1.3 for a little while, but I’ll have to upgrade eventually, and I really want to use the clouds in 1.4. Thanks for any tips on this. System info: Win 10, Blender 2.93.4, RTX 3090 w/Studio Driver 472.12
Looks like u have chosen Nishita sky or something in 1.4.2.
Change to earth
I agree it looks like Nishita. I double checked that I’m using the earth preset, however. Here’s my settings panel:
Hi @martinsh Nice addon working really nice!
IMHO i think is a bit tricky to have this node setup on every material.
Yesterday (working on 3,0 alpha) suddenly everything became black, because node group was lost, so I had to reconnect all manually 
Cheers

Any idea what is going on here? Enabled fog and have the Earth preset selected. Fog does not appear to be as visible as it used to be and for some reason, I have an orange tint where it should be. Also, it does not appear that the transparency node for the fog remembers what node it is connected to if you toggle the fog. I don’t believe this is intended behavior.
any info on when the version for blender 3.0 will come out?
EDIT: nevermind, for some reason last time I tried to install 1.4.2 in blender 3.0 I received an error… worked now 
I am having the same issue in 1.4.2, the default earth preset looks very different from what it looked in the previous version. I liked the previous version more
It seems like the developer give up on this add on.
Maybe they’re just slow responding to this thread.
It doesn’t seem they abandoned the development, I believe just recently they updated the website:
That said, it would be nice to see them participating a little more.
Perhaps there’s more activity on the Github page?
