Screen Space Fog Scattering

Post process shader that enhances the look of Exponential Height Fog by adding the simulation of light scattering inside it.

Screen Space Fog Scattering is a powerful asset for game developers using the Unreal Engine. This advanced feature allows for incredibly realistic and immersive fog effects in a game's environment. Fog is an essential element in creating atmospheric and moody scenes, and with Screen Space Fog Scattering, developers have a wide range of control over how it is implemented in their game.

Screen Space Fog Scattering is a new post process shader that enhances the look of Exponential Height Fog by adding the simulation of light scattering inside it. The effect adds the necessary feel of a dense fog and it can be a great final touch on the mood of your scenes.

Using the engine classes, the plugin safely injects the shader into the rendering pipeline ensuring that it's compatible with all other default post process effects.
