UE4 Tutorial - Local Volumetric Fog 1/3 - Basics - Unreal Engine 4

NOTE: To all the people who say they can't see anything after turning on "volumetric fog"...The "view distance" in the Exponential Height Fog has to be set high enough or else your fog will not show until the camera gets close to the emitter.

sad that volumetric fog use too much ressource.I lose 10+ fps by activating it.

I know this tutorial is a bit old, and I'm currently using Unreal Engine 5, it works but the extinction parameter does nothing, I'm not sure I think it is taking into account the extinction scale of my overall exponential height fog. Is there a fix for this?

I've double and triple checked my material and particle settings to make sure they are the same as yours but my fog keeps flashing in and out.
If I set the lifetime to 0 it stops flashing and becomes really thick, and it stays permanently wherever it goes so I cannot move it or it leaves a trail.

Why is my fog cloud so incredibly thick? Even at .1 extinction is is almost a solid color. Also the hardness setting barely effects the softness of the edges, it mainly just darkens the entire fog.

Just wanted to say thank you! Followed this tutorial in UE 5 and it worked like a charm!

It's spelled Colour by the way.. not Color.

Where are you from, you have a weird sounding accent?

Wow this is so nice!
My fog isn't casting shadown in it even when chance the light source, what should i do pls? i'm using 4.27

Update for Niagara?

If there is ever a fix for it for 4.26 and beyond, please let me know. Leave a reply. My particle system does seem to be working, but it pulses and disappears like its a flashlight turning on and off.

why my fog is pixelating

Completely busted as of 4.27

Thank you so much!

hi thanks for the tutorial. A query: how is the texture that you create as a "test"? some measure? is it png?

Amazing

New sub, awesome content. Thanks!!!

Excellent tutorial, thank you!

perfect video, needed some fog for some acid barrels that I have, thank you.

The texture was created in Photoshop anyway XD

how to slow emitter speed?

Sadly after hours of trying and recreating, the tutorial didn't work, the particle system at the start didn't show even after enabling volumetric fog and altering the settings.
The one time i did get it to work, it broke when i went to the second tutorial and applied it to an object, the fog only showed on the vertices of the object, and after deleting the object and trying to fix the original fog particle system broke again without me even touching it. :(

Excellent tutorial.

I have been wondering if this can be done for a long time!
THANK YOU! :D

Can't get shadows, I'm using distance field for lighting

Hello, how can I increase the volume resolution? Now it looks pixelated

My fog is always totally pixelated.. anyone knows how I can fix this?

Thank you!

Thank you

my fog is dense, cant look trough it

I've tried this with Niagara using 4.25 but the material has compiling errors and doesn't work. How to fix it?
NiagaraMeshVertexFactory.ush(791,2-66): warning X3206: implicit truncation of vector type

Great stuff dude, tutorials like i like them, quick, effective, no bs. I'll definitely check out the other two videos

Just excellent!!! Everything worked just perfect; thank you so much for sharing pal... very useful!!!

Thank you!

I have a new version of Unreal (.24) and the fog is not showing up for me after checking volumetric fog. My view distance is high and all my scalability settings are set to cinematic. What am I missing?

Heya the fog is appearing but not rendering, not sure why...

4.23 not working even tutorial project I've downloaded here, please help!!!!!

My shader complexity is pretty bad. How do I fix that?

Hello. My fog is looking a bit low res around the edges, is there a way to fix this?

That is way too much trouble to go through to have fog in your scene. Fog is such a necessary part of just about every game and video that there should be a fog button and you press it and fog appears in your scene and then you just adjust it. Going through all those steps to create fog is ridiculous.

I tried downloading the files and when i try to open it I get a message saying they are damaged and can't access.

thanks a lot for this tutortial.i have just one question,it looks like smoke more than fog,my character isnt visible inside the "fog" is there any way to decrease the "mass"of the fog?for becoming more translucency?thank you

Very interesting tutorial, really

seems like a good tutorial, but not working in 4.24 - can't figure out why

Hey! Thanks for the Tutorial, its being really helpful.
Although, I'm having one issue, my top of the particle is coming in Yellow color and the Base in Blue. why that reverse effect.

thanks man, it is a realy good tutorial :)
