Cool Fog Fixes

Objective: An overview on how to get your fog looking right.

So our fog is working but sadly it seems ghosty, lets understand that.

A ghosty effect in a spotlight refers to unwanted artifacts that occur when the spotlight interacts with other objects or environmental effects in the scene.

Since we’re working in HDRP let’s try to use the Highest Quality Settings we can so our assets will look amazing.

First we’ll increase the Fog quality by going to our Global Volume and adding a Fog override and enabling the override, enabling the Fog Attenuation Distance, Volumetric Fog and setting the Quality to highest. It should look like this.

Fog override in our Global Volume.

Now why did this fix our issue ?
When you change the quality from medium to high in your global volume fog, it affects the rendering and appearance of fog in the scene.

Higher-quality fog settings introduce additional rendering features that impact the rendering pipeline and how other effects, such as spotlights, interact with the scene.
