[UE5 TUTO] Animated Local Volumetric Fog

[@michael_g_art]

To increase the distance (I totally forgot to mention this in the video) you have a parameter called "View Distance" in the Exponential Height Fog. By default it is set to 6000. Be careful, the farther the distance the more resources it will consume.

Not gonna lie... this was the best 30 minutes of learning I've had in a while The way you explain each step is so on point, congrats and thank you for the learning

[@Mat-kk9qf]

Thanks for this in depth tutorial! Though my fog works volumewise the appearance doesnt look like perlin noise, but its scaled in the Y axis - so instead of having a nice noisy fog its basically foggy vertical lines... Any clue how to fix it? Setting my cube to a low height makes it look quite good, but I would like to have a higher fog volume... any hints? :)

[@l_t_m_f]

After I put the 1-x node my fog disappears completely... any idea why? Edit: Nevermind I found my mistake. I had forgotten to switch config on the TransformPosition node.

[@reachingeric]

local bounds object node has change, it does not look the same anymore, any idea why?

[@WantToBeHappyIJustWantAThing]

I am wondering about it too.. Did you managed to find out?

[@FergusMulligan]

Top Notch Tutoiral Thank you Michael. Keep up the standard and you'll get tones of subscribers!

[@oscoorpgames]

why but i cant see any fog ? in cube

[@jkre]

You missed the part of putting on the volumetric scattering on the light. Without it the fog don't show

[@oscoorpgames]

@@jkre oo Yea I Made A Bett For After that

[@FABR0XXXX]

Wy can't i make it work in UEFN? tried everything

[@michael_g_art]

Didn't tried in UEFN. Let me try I will make an edit to this comment EDIT: As you don't have control over the main directional light, I don't think it's possible. You do have a "Day_Sequencer", but it's grayed out, so I'm not sure you can put it in this version of the engine.

[@hubertserafin9635]

is it works only with directional light? I am asking becouse i added fog to scene where are only ponint lights and the fog works fine but its black

[@eobet]

I have a similar setup with a HDRI lit scene, and my fog is black as well...

[@mikaelaeriksson8031]

Is it any way to get this to work with Ray Tracing on? :'(

[@akkenahdravkahnahunter1307]

i was wondering if you solved it, ty :(

[@Starblendet]

I loooove this tutorial. Was excited to check out your channel...while impressive I was hoping for more tutorials like this so wont sub your channel for now.

[@g-lurk]

i came here because the other tutorial didn't work for me. i discovered it was enabling the 'volumetric fog' checkbox. just curious if i can use regular fog parameters and this together? i want fog to start at a certain point but the start distance and volumetric fog don't work super well together, any thoughts?

[@aaronwe9850]

Thanks for the tutorial. One question, if I used the rotator/rotate node what would happen? Another question, how would I make the fog move up or down?

[@sauravpanwar9455]

It shows up in my sequencer but in my movie Render Queue (the final render) it isn't visible. Any solutions to this?

[@Starblendet]

Is there a way to make the transition smoother from the fog to "non-fog" area within the cube. When you added the -1 node it made the fog into a sphere, but I want the middle of the sphere to have 100% fog and the edge 0%...is that possible?

[@iluvmomndad]

Fantastic video, man! Much to learn from you with such exceptional tutorials. Cant help but notice that the final results seem to have a lot of straight lines on it while the fog is moving. I assume this is because we are using a 2D noise texture that masks the fog from the world Z axis. Is there a way to use 3D noise and get that to look better?

[@pierreprinzbach4870]

Great demo! Thanks for saving me ;) (Merci mec!)

[@iamdvus5340]

Great tutorial, everything works as intended! Only issue I'm having is that the fog looks great in the live viewer window / sequencer, however, when I go to render through movie queue and bump up the temporal sub sampling (for motion blur) the fog seems to have a mind of its own. IE rendering very sporadically and behaving nothing like it is before I render. Any thoughts?

[@ram-ys5qi]

great man

[@おかのうえ-p6w]

Thank you for giving the incredible video. This is easy to understand!

[@johandruyff737]

Really great video!!! helped me a lot :D

[@j1mmyvfx]

you should make more tutorials its a big help thanks

[@fabiomontorzi8635]

Thanks for sharing your knoledge!

[@parikshitbelsare6914]

followed each and everything by the second and still got the shitty look... looked up all the settings and even watched the video again... its not even moving man please help

[@meltdragonstory1730]

same here. If i look from the outside nothing can be seen when i go inside the block the fog is on full density even when i set it to the minimum

[@Academy3dPrinter]

finally a clear and detailed video, thanks

[@MJ_Torshizi]

is there anyway to create local fog without enabling Volumetric Fog in Fog Settings ? it cost so much FPS

[@michael_g_art]

Unfortunately no, you can try to fake it with particles emitter and reduce the general one at the maximum. But it will still cost. Reducing the distance can be a good thing too

this was real good, thank you

[@VirusUk]

I seem to have an issue with the 1-x, once plugged in the texture/fog is completely invisible even with opacity at 1. without it plugged in I get a squared fog which is not ideal. any suggestions (using 5.0.1)

[@oliverbendsen]

i have the same problem

[@VirusUk]

@@oliverbendsen I figured out the issue

[@VirusUk]

@@oliverbendsen in not on my comp right now but double check the mode in the material that is world space to local space and make sure its right way round.

[@oliverbendsen]

@@VirusUk i tried different cofigurations with that node. Cant seem to get it to work

[@murilomiranda9095]

Any updates on that issue? I'm getting the same "error" as you. The 1-x doesn't work.

[@tokyobaystorechannel1538]

hello, does this only works with lumen active?

[@michael_g_art]

Hello, not it works with volumetric fog only

[@rallykim7356]

u just save my day sir!

[@pawelbhandari1621]

thanks a lot for this content

[@xXxebubekirxXx]

Thank you man!

[@vinhngo9788]

great guy!

[@GorblinRat]

Thank you!

[@LetsPatrick]

cost of fps?

[@michael_g_art]

As much as volumetric fog cost
