    Simple way:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. RenderSettings.fogDensity = fogDensity / 1000;
    Hard way:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. public float FogDensity = 0.003f
    2.         Update_GlobalFog(mainCamera, true, CustomFog.Global, 0, 0, 0, Color.white, FogDensity);
    3.

    Have been using LB2 in-editor for a while now, always my go-to choice for lighting in unity. Fantastic asset!

    Is this the right place to post questions on this asset? I am trying to place the camera asset at runtime, and I am not sure how to go about doing this.
    I instantiate my camera and it carries over across multiple scenes, and I want to have this input when the game starts after the camera is created. Any way to do this?

    Lighting Box 2 works without problems with instantiated cameras
    You have LB_Lighting_Helper game object in the scene that applies the settings of each scene after the game start

    OK it's 50% off, but it hasn't been updated for 7 months. Will it get an update?

    No new features has been added to the Unity in these 7 months:)

    I think this is a good level of the graphics for current gen games:

    So, everytime I load into my scene with my instantiated camera, my lighting box helper has no camera attached. How do I get it to work with an instantiated camera? Also, my lighting settings are not seeming to save or be updated in the scene. Do you have any further documentation or FAQs on this system anywhere?

    Try to instantiate your camera in the Awake() function

    I tried to change it to Awake instead of Start, and it is still blank. I have a separate scene for my camera that is carried over to the other scenes. Sorta like a management Scene, or something. Is there anyway I can feed the camera into this for the lighting system manually at runtime? Once it is loaded, it will be the same camera through out the game, so I am assuming I only need to load it once, and then have the different profiles per scene.
    Also, I am getting weird errors when using timeline, like the lighting values are changing when a timeline is started.

    I tested it and it works well...
    Don't forget to close the lighting box 2 window when playing the game

    Code (CSharp):
    1. using System.Collections;
    2. using System.Collections.Generic;
    3. using UnityEngine;
    4.  
    5. public class CamTest : MonoBehaviour
    6. {
    7.  
    8.     public GameObject cam;
    9.  
    10.     void Awake()    {
    11.         Instantiate(cam);
    12.     }
    13.  
    14.     // Update is called once per frame
    15.     void Update()
    16.     {
    17.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F1))
    18.             UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene("1");
    19.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F2))
    20.             UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene("2");
    21.     }
    22. }

    I am wondering why I am getting this error upon installation of this asset?

    Assets\LightingBox2\Scripts\PostEffects\DepthOfField\DepthOfField.cs(306,17): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'RenderTextureUtility' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

    If you already have any unity's post effects, first remove them, then import lighting box 2 again

    Hello, I'm trying to instantiate a new camera wich is part of it own system and this camera is the main camera once instantiated. I've added a public class to the LB_helper to change the variable mainCamera and then call the same functions that the helper calls on start. however Lighbox rendering get's stuck with the previous camera used that is now disabled. Also i try seting the tags so there's only one "MainCamera" tag and still it's not updated.
    To clarify i'm disabling an FPS/menu camra and enabling a vehicle system camera.
    What i am missing?

    EDIT: I think it's working now, i just realized there was no post effect layer on the camera.
    But still, is that the correct way? Thanks
