In this short tutorial I want to show you how to create fog in Blender without Principled Volume Shader or Volumetric Light. At the same time, you can use the result to control the depth of field in the rendered image or animation in After Effects without rendering the depth of field or blur directly in Blender. This way, the image or animation remains sharp and can be flexibly blurred in post-processing.

You're a bliss to this community. Please keep the good work up. I recently followed your geometry nodes tutorial, and created a river scene; something I tried to do for months now, and I finally did it thanks to you. Also, you explain really well and in a good pace. Keep it up!

Vielen Dank! Das Compositing ist zwar immer noch ein Mysterium für mich, aber langsam wird es - zumindest sehen meine Szenen jetzt nicht mehr so steril aus. :D

Awesome tutorials! You do a great job explaining step by step! Thanks for this one in particular, I believe this will save me a lot of rendering time in the future. Keep it up! 💜

verdammt! :-) gutes rest wochenende noch!

Very cool Technique.. and less Stress on CPU
The only downside is Your lighting won't react to the Fog...
eg: if you want Sun Rays OR if you're working on a dark scene where your scene is lit only with Lights

Coole Inhalte. Weiter so. Wenn Du den Ton zwischen Titel und Tutorial anpasst, fliegen mir beim Intro nicht immer die Ohren weg 😉
