Overview

The Atmospheric and Environment effects in V-Ray simulate fog, atmospheric haze and participating media for a number of image effects. They also include VRayToon, a cartoon-styled non-photorealistic effect that enables toon shading as a render effect throughout the scene.

These effects are available under the Atmosphere rollout on the Effects dialog (Rendering menu > Effects).

Atmospheric Effects

Environment Fog An atmospheric effect that simulates participating media like fog, atmospheric dust.

Aerial Perspective Simulates the aerial perspective effect, the result of viewing objects from a distance through the Earth's atmosphere. The effect is similar to fog or haze.

Sphere Fade Gizmo A V-Ray specific atmospheric effect that extracts and renders small parts of the scene by putting them in an atmospheric gizmo.

Volumetric Effect

Volumetric Grid Creates a volumetric effect that works with grid-based cache formats. It reads its data from an input file which supports grid-based volume representation.

Toon Render Effect

VRayToon A very simple atmospheric plugin that produces cartoon-style outlines on specific objects in the scene.
