Realy useful tip right here ! Thank You ! I will add to that formula something extra by promoting that color, opacity and fade distance constants to parameters (right click on a node and chose converte to parameter for those of you that dont know how) and after a color node add make float 4 (hook up RGBA) and after all that you can make a meterial instance of that material witch will let you to control all those parameters from a mterial editor in real time without haveing to save changes with each itteration :)
First of all, thank you very much for the tutorial, I've managed everything so far, but I have a problem if I have a car in the scene with transparent windows, then they are displayed in white and you can't see through them. Do you know what you can do there? Thank you
@@tomgough263 Hi i have found the Issue Open the Glas Master Material und find the Attribute in Details Panle >> Allow Front Layer Translucency and enable the Attribute. If it is still white, set the Opacity in the Materialinstance to a higher Value and than it should works. For me it works fine
Awesome tutorial and thanks for sharing question though is there a way to adjust elevation of fog like say just hover right above the grass instead of filling the entire screen space
Bro thank you for this video man. I loved the look of path tracing but it bugged me that there were no fog effects. There's still aren't any light shaft effects but still this changed my scene and made it look so much better. Btw you gained a subscriber.
Also btw, I tested this out and found that it breaks ray tracing translucency for glass materials. Not sure why, but the refraction stops functioning correctly and makes the translucent materials see through in addition to refraction and reflection. Any ideas how to get around this?
Great video! I followed each step of the video, however I am getting "black fog" even if I change color, any idea why? I can control density etc. but color remains the same for some reason.. Thanks
I have some question about foliage in Path Tracing. When i apply folliage, in lit i see whole foliage, but in path tracing, camera see foliage wich situated only near. Can u comment this situation? Thank you.
Thanks! Yes, the sky is an HDRI texture from polyhaven.com/ (used to be HDRI Haven). If you want to decrease the overall exposure of your scene, you should be able to go into your camera settings or your post process settings, search exposure, and then set it to manual. From there, you can adjust your exposure compensation to whatever you want. If you want to only adjust the HDRI, you should be able to do so under the intensity settings for the HDRI. Does that answer your question or were you asking something else?
Unfortunately not working on UE503 with sun&sky blueprint.. however i got it to work somehow with adding all atmospheric lights etc.. with env light mixer.
Awesome tutorial. Thanks man. Can we request how to add blue print/play mode animation to sequencer? Been trying to figure it out lately. Thanks again.
bravo .. this is beautiful .. 1 small question .. can you texture this fog as long as its a material node tree ? so that it looks more cloudy .. would really appreciate if you update us with that and show us "your way"
Thanks for your comment, glad you like the lighting setup! It's actually just two desk lamps bounced off the wall to screen left and the wall directly behind the camera. Creates a nice large source which wraps around the face nicely, very simple and quick to set up and tears down easily!
Amazin video!, I tried this and looks much better that exponential hieght fog, just for one thing. When i put a cinea camera actor, seems not to respond at all with DOF, so elements that are at the background look fine but the ones that are closer to camera and not afected too much by this fog, seems to have really crisp edges with aliasing, even with 32-32 samples. Any solution or work around on this plz?
it's not immediately clear to me why the fog is calculated in relation to the camera. I dont see any reference to the camera in that code you wrote. So why is that? I want a fog that is calculated relative to an arbitrary world center. Any chance this method will work for me too?
Using with Megascans animated trees an animated shadow seems to be cast on the fog while the trees themselves are static in Path tracing mode. Anyway to make the fog not receive these shadows?
I cant get this to work un Unreal 5.02... what has changed? ( i get a fat square in the viewport) basicy i just need a color in the background to color different post process volumes
Maaaan, remember plug ins??? remember when sum1 had the brilliant idea of inventing an add on that takes all the set up out the equation, the plug in would gave you nice sliders and knobs to tweak... Boy i miss those days :/
I'm not currently hosting a server and I'm not on any at the moment, but I will be looking into it in the future! Thanks for watching and for your comment, great to hear you're using UE for VFX. I'm hoping they make some improvements to the engine so that it is even more VFX-friendly in the future!
@@BoundlessEntertainmentFilms Have you been having any issues with motion blur with the path tracer? If I add any temporal samples, whether it's 2 or 16 I'm getting a weird open shutter style blurring/doubling. This is with Override AA On and Off. Doesn't seem to change it.
Amazing.
This solved an issue I was trying to figure out for days.
Greatly appreciated.

On UE5 you will have to add a Component Mask between Scene Texture and Lerp
I tried to do so, but it shows an error at the lerp node...
@@kexinling5406 check only the alpha channel
@@kexinling5406 Checking R - G and B worked for me to correct it in the component mask node

Thanks for the quick simple tutorial, loved the way you presented the fog and went through all the parts, thanks this helped a lot!
Man you’re a machine!! Keep churning these out!

Did you ever have any luck sorting this?

For me it works fine
@@elaymondes7205 amazing thank you!
Thank you very much for keeping your promise on doing this tutorial ! Very useful.
Nice Tutorial. It was exactly, what I was looking for.
Thank you. Great tutorial! Looking forward to your course.
Thanks! Great vid! Never thought to use the depth fade in a post process before.
Fantastic tip. Really makes a difference. Big up star.
this is just what I'm looking for.
Great tutorial!
That's amazing, thanks! is there a way to add height falloff?

I want to learn ue5 for photoreal filmmaking, what sources do you recommend? Do you have a paid course?
amazing tutorial. Thank You.
I have some question about foliage in Path Tracing. When i apply folliage, in lit i see whole foliage, but in path tracing, camera see foliage wich situated only near. Can u comment this situation? Thank you.
Since this is a post process effect you cannot change the height of the fog???
This is brilliant, thanks!
great tutorial. One question: how did you make the sky? is it an HDRI? And how can i down the brightness when i'm using the Path Tracer? Greets
I want to know too

Thank you for the great content you sharing.I have a question : how the path tracing be used in UE5 since the UE5 dones't need ray tracing
Great solution, thanks!

Great Tutorials !!!! I like to know if I can get good results using a Mac Mini M1 / 16Gb ram.... is enough to do Short projects ? thank you
Very cool! Thanks
Yes. You rock. Thanks!
Thanks a ton!
Excellent ! Thank you !
Thank you!! It works well in UE5 as well!! :)
Big question, some objecs, for example windows on my buildings, are black in contrast to the fog
Very useful!
off topic question but how did you light yourself/background in the intro? absolutely gorgeous soft lighting setup, just one light or several?
Thanks for your comment, glad you like the lighting setup! It's actually just two desk lamps bounced off the wall to screen left and the wall directly behind the camera. Creates a nice large source which wraps around the face nicely, very simple and quick to set up and tears down easily!
I ran into a problem with water not working in pathtracing, do you know of a solution for that?
Do you know how one could remove the black void beneath the horizon without exponential height fog?
Nice tutorial! Have you got a trick for replacing volumetric clouds and getting godrays with path tracer ?
Thank you so much.!!!!!! :)
Awesome. Thanks
Thank you so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽

How would you make a dark/black fog? Doesn't seem to work with this method (probably because it's based on emissive color)
it's not immediately clear to me why the fog is calculated in relation to the camera. I dont see any reference to the camera in that code you wrote. So why is that? I want a fog that is calculated relative to an arbitrary world center. Any chance this method will work for me too?
Path tracing apparently IS now finally supported in UE 5.1+ but how did you render your clouds?
Using with Megascans animated trees an animated shadow seems to be cast on the fog while the trees themselves are static in Path tracing mode. Anyway to make the fog not receive these shadows?
my scene is all white after the tutorial. I tried to lower the settings but 0 opacity constant is the only setting that i'm able to see my scene.
Nifty!
Hi! Did u know, how to do volume light for this? Like volume spot light
Olá. Essa técnica me ajudou muito, usei no Unreal 5.0 e funcionou muito bem. Parabéns e vlw.
I´ve gone through this tutorial in detail 3 times but for me the turns out black for some reason. Any idea what might be causing it?
I cant get this to work un Unreal 5.02... what has changed? ( i get a fat square in the viewport) basicy i just need a color in the background to color different post process volumes
@@ignaciomendo483 yup not working either.
Great turtoial
yes yes yes ! simply upgrade do hide cull distance XD trees working well thanks! for pro tip!
the lerp is giving me error I dont know why
Use vector4 for fog color not vector 3
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
thanks!
thank you a lot
hi,Boundless Entertainment,I found a problem with your video, that is, I can't see the window content with your right mouse button,it is curious.
If path tracer could support the very important decal that would be very nice.
Thanks
GREAT! I literally created something like this over a month ago.. now everyone is going to think that i got this idea from this tutorial.....
Where are the blueprints?
UE 5.1 solve this with pathtrace and exponential height fog
Maaaan, remember plug ins??? remember when sum1 had the brilliant idea of inventing an add on that takes all the set up out the equation, the plug in would gave you nice sliders and knobs to tweak...
Boy i miss those days :/

Are you on any Discord servers anywhere? It's tough finding other folks using UE in a VFX way like this.
