You may alternatively select a background color to be rendered as the background to your scene.

Fog

You may disable fog from being rendered by de-selecting Button-Fog.gif (158 bytes) on the Main Toolbar.

Mode

You may select the mode in which fog will be rendered. The options are Linear, Exponential and Exponential Squared.

Color

The color of the fog may be selected by clicking on the current color.

Linear

The start and maximum distance for linear rendered fog.

Density

The density of exponential rendered fog.

Textures

A number of texture rendering options are provided. Linear is the default because it produces good results at good rendering speeds. If you have a fast system, you may find that Linear MipMap Linear will produce the best results. Point sampled produces the worst results, and should only be chosen if you are running without 3D Acceleration.
