This natural phenomenon is known as Atmospheric Perspective.

Rather a painting technique than a natural phenomenon.

I wanna know how u built the cityscape, did u use any plugins? It would be great if u did a video on how u create cityscape like that.

Looking forward to the plugin Nick.
There is currently a ‘free’ city plugin available called ‘Citygen’ by Paul Everett so might be worth doing a google for and tracking down.

Thanks Nick!

Another great tut =) The great thing about your tutorials is that you are not only teaching us how to use c4d but you’re also teaching us why and when to use it. That’s one of the many “plus” you have. Thanks for sharing!!-
Thanks, Juan. That means a lot.

it looks like engine for video game. You fog at the horizon to limit far vision and save calculation power. Ho my god just to test all cs tool it takes a lot of time.

Now let’s see how many people will end up doing a graveyard for their own ‘experimentation’ with this tutorial.

So nick, I guess this means you have a background in programming? how does it that work when you make plugins?

Hi, I think that it’s so nice.
I have a big question that is,
Reply
I can’t fine “objects” folder in my files.
I set up OLX plug-in, but it doesn’t work.
It says that
“there are no lobrary locations defined for this command.” like that…
what am I supposed to do?-
Iam sorry, it works !! thank you so much.

Looks great nice use of fog. Is the plugin similar to how I made a city here?

Nice tutorial, Nick!

I love these occasional quickie tutorials: there wasn’t a lot to learn, but they can remind me of a technique I might of forgotten about. And with this one, something that actually adds a lot to the project I’m currently working on.
Reply -
Nick, that is exactly what was looking for.
Reply
and I agree with Juan also here -
Thanks for sharing!!!

none of these CS tools seem to work, they all make cinema crash, any suggestions? I’m using version 11.5
Reply -
Thanks. What a good tutorial. Wow… I noticed that there are a lot of tutorials. I have to come back everyday.
Reply -
Great tutorial as always. After watching I made a mograph city similar to yours in the photos. However, when I bring in CS Fog/daylight I get superflat monotone highlights. No matter the rim and key levels. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Reply-
Ory, I’ve got the same problems and I get ride of it. First don’t use GI, it doesn’t works and remove the auto light from your setup

Great tut Nick! One question… I’m using both CS Fog and the ring light from your GSG LightKit Pro. When I add CS Fog to the scene, the ring lights become visible in the render. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks again!!
Reply-
No, Just go into the light’s Compositing tags and turn off “Seen by Transparency”. That should do it.

Cool, it can also be used for z-depth channel for AEpost blur

Hi Nick,

I’m using CS Tools Fog with an HDRI sky from Light Kit Pro and although I have ‘seen by camera’ unchecked on the sky I can see the HDRI image in the fog…any ideas? -
The IsoCam seems to be removed now? I can’t find any information about it at all. Very confusing, what was it about?
Reply -
Nick,
How does this differ or improve over the c4d fog?
Reply-
Mostly easer to use.

I’m have an interesting and likely common predicament. I’d like to have a nice underwater ocean fog, but then have a light above the water that properly shows through the surface of the water due to it’s transparency. Since the fog is ‘scene-global’, is there a way to ‘fake’ a good fog in a scene that won’t dramatically increase render time or have an affect on lights and shadows? I’d like to have the surface of the water show a brighter amount of light through without losing the fog effect from underwater. Does this make sense to anyone?

This is nice, but I wish it didn’t start right at the camera. I’m looking for an aerial perspective solution that has a minimum and maximum distance, so the aerial perspective won’t start becoming visible 50 or 100 feet from the camera.
