Global Fog

Hi,

The Globlafog shader in the current version of Unity5, is really bad.
GlobalFog in the RC1 version, we could setup correctly the distance , and the height fog, in the current version besides being impossible to do so, the visual result is bad bad bad.
Was there a reason why the GlobalFog was changed ?
Also, Fog color on the shader cannot be changed from script anymore.
Right now looks much better to use the old Deferred lighting path with the option to have (linear, exp or exp2) that using the useless GlobalFog shader.

 

You can change the fog mode, and its values by script, like this:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. RenderSettings.fog = true;
3. RenderSettings.fogColor = Color.black;
4. RenderSettings.fogDensity = 1;
5. RenderSettings.fogMode = FogMode.Exponential;
6. RenderSettings.fogStartDistance = 10;
7. RenderSettings.fogEndDistance = 100;
8.  

I believe that is working just as in Unity 4

 

That works with the Fog settings that you can find in the Lighting Tab, but that won't work with the Global Fog script that you must use if you use the new Deferred mode.

 

The GlobalFog script take its values, based on those defined on the Render Settings.

I just tested and worked perfectly

 

On the GlobalFog script, use "Absolute Y and Distance", "Absolute Y" or "Relative Y and Distance".
It won't work.
On my side only works when I have "Distance" selected.

 

The script that I have here seems to be different than yours. The settings that I have are these:

 

I reimported the ImageEffects, to make sure that I possessed the version shipped with Unity 5.

Try reimporte the GlobalFog on your project

 

yup, that's no my shader.
Will do that !

Thanks !

 

If you don't like it just change it

 

showing off ?

 

yeah...i shouldn't . . .sorry

 

haha

 

I agree the new global fog is a real step back. Even the options / labelling seems to not work as intended. Unity is also now forcing the DepthTextureMode in the image effects which is interfering with other custom effects elsewhere... this is a really disappointing move.

 

Hey guys, do I put this global fog script on the main camera?
