Lake fog?

#1 The water/river objects do have a fog value, if you're thinking about clarity and visibility throught the water. If you're talking about placing a fog object around a lake, you'll have to use volumetric fog, which is not a feature in torque (yet) unfortunately. Someone (with shader knowelage and skils) should really make this and post it as a resource. Tried several times myself, but failed each time :/

#2 no, im thinking about fog over a lake.

we have a lake in an artic area and it was mentioned that a fog over the area would be nice. totally agree and spent a few hours last nite trying to make one. I didnt try shaders but i did try particle effects and failed.

#3 Unfortunately there is no Fog Volume object. I've played around with large particles (precipitation works great but isn't confined to one area) as well as collisionless planes/cylinders with animated translucent materials that work reasonably ok - depends on the look/quality that you're looking for. Got no shader skills so I haven't explored that route... yet.

#4 hmm fog volume object. that would be really cool to have.

#5 I actually was looking through the water fog stuff not to far back and discovered that it is a using a shader to create the under water fog volume. I put it on my back burner of things to look into to create volumetric fog as it should basically be the same thing. But like Michael, I have no shader skills so its not high on my list. But if someone takes a look at that it should point you in the right direction hopefully. I personally never understood why Torque has never supported stand alone fog volumes.

#6 I agree Ryan, i think that this would be a great environment object to add to T3D
