Layer Fog |
The FcrvSelect->Layer Fog command in the Motion module displays the function curves of animated parameters related to the Layer Fog effect. For information on Layer Fog parameters, see the Atmosphere->Layer Fog command.
For more information on all tasks related to editing function curves, see the Editing Function Curves section of the Animating User's Guide.
Choose the FcrvSelect->Layer Fog command and the desired subcommand.
The Fcurve window and the specified function curve(s) appear.
Displays all Layer Fog function curves.
Displays the function curve for distance, in grid units, from the camera at which the Layer Fog is activated.
Note:
The Fog effect is "distance attenuated" so that objects near the starting distance are less affected by the Layer Fog effect than objects that are farther away.
Displays the function curve for the distance, in grid units, from the camera at which the Layer Fog reaches full density and remains at full density from this point to infinity.
Displays the function curve for the colour of the Layer Fog. The colour values range from 0 to 1.
Displays the function curve for the density of the Layer Fog. The values range from 0 to 1, with 0 as transparent and 1 as opaque.
Displays the function curve for the starting distance of the Layer Fog, in grid units, from the xz plane. For example, setting the base at 0 activates the effect directly on the xz plane. Setting the base at -2 activates the Layer Fog at 2 units below the xz plane.
Displays the function curve for the Layer Fog distance from the Base setting in the y plane. Thickness is also measured in grid units. For example, setting the thickness at 6 deactivates the Layer Fog at 6 units from the specified Base setting.
Note:
The Layer Fog effect is also attenuated according to its height, appearing the most dense at the midway point between the Base and Thickness settings, and gradually weakening toward its edges.
