VR Mobile fog?

Any thoughts on the best way to simulate depth on mobile VR? Looking at some of the Google cardboard demo's it looks like Unity's built in fog, but that's not going to work on mobile platforms..
I've tried cheating it with textures which kind of works, but it'd be interesting to see how other people are achieving this!

 

I've successfully faked it by using a hollow cylinder with a shader that utilizes depth blending to control its opacity. It turns transparent the closer it gets to a solid object.

 

Projector?
BTW, afaik, built in fog does work on mobile..

 

you're right, mobile fog DOES work.. I assumed it was causing a lag, but that might have been down to my poly count..

nice trick with the cylinder and the shader! i was going to try something like that next

 

Much thanks Jonny10, very cool! Is the script from this shader available?

 

Sure thing! I've attached a package.

 

Amazing work here Jonny10, very much appreciated!!!

 

NIce! thanks for sharing dude.

 

Hmmm.. that prefab isn't working, is there something obvious that I'm totally missing?
Dragged it into a scene and it's just transparent...

 

Thank you Jonny10! I am having difficulty getting it to work though. It works fine when the target platform in pc, but not when target platform is android.

 

On Android the camera doesn't enable the depth buffer by default, at least not in forward rendering.

Attach this script to your camera, and it should work Your camera component should say: "Info: Renders depth texture" at the bottom.

 

OOOH MAAAN,

YOU'RE AWESOME,

THANK YOU VERY MUCH,

very much appreciated!!!

God yes, I needed that 3D model and you gave me,

Thank you
