Creating a global volumetric fog
In this recipe, you will interact with the HDR effects and learn to manipulate the global fog and other fog effects such as volumetric fog.
Getting ready
You should have Forest.cry open in the Editor and have completed the Creating your first time of day using the basic parameters recipe earlier in this chapter.

Set the FogColorMultiplier to 10, so that we can easily see our color changing.
Next, select a color for the fog.

In the following final screenshot, I have used the sky color of RGB 150, 200, 210 for the fog.
Next, let's adjust the atmosphere height. This parameter defines the atmosphere...
