"VRay Fog"
Completed June 11, 2013

These are high resolutions, originally rendered at 10000×4225, testing out the VRay fog feature in 3dsmax. When combined with 3D procedural textures, truly unique results can be achieved. VRay fog offers many useful variables including density settings that allow the fog to become more solid, as well as falloff controls that allow the fog to realistically fall off the gizmo edges.

Although VRay Fog is not necessarily suitable for an effective cloud rendering solution, it provides a ton of flexibility for numerous applications.

  • Dark, swirling smoke clouds mix with lighter gray and white, creating a dense, ominous atmosphere. The image conveys a sense of tension and drama.
  • Dark, tumultuous clouds fill the scene with varying shades of gray and hints of light, creating a dramatic and moody atmosphere.
