Haze-Driven Sky Model

This sky model uses a Haze value to specify the amount of water vapor or other particulate matter in the air. Possible values range from 0.0 (a completely clear day) to 15.0 (extremely overcast, or a sandstorm in the Sahara). The Haze value influences the intensity and color of the sky and horizon, the intensity and color of sunlight, the softness of the sun’s shadows, the softness of the glow around the sun, and the strength of the aerial perspective.

Note: The Haze-Driven sky model was the only sky model available in versions prior to 3ds Max 2009.
