Fog Parameters Rollout

Provides access to the default Civil View fog effect.

Fog causes objects to fade in color as they increase in distance from the camera. This effect can help provide a sense of three-dimensional depth to rendered images. By default, Fog is always present in every Civil View scene.

Fog Color
