Fog depth has no effect
Author
I have implemented fog, but the GL_FOG_START and GL_FOG_END primitives do not have any effect.
I am using the fog to blend the terrain into the horizon, so would like the fog to only effect points far from the viewpoint
No matter what I set GL_FOG_START and GL_FOG_END to, the fog always looks the same:
float fogColor[4] = {0.0f,0.0f,1.0f,1.0f};
glFogi(GL_FOG_MODE, GL_EXP2);
glFogfv(GL_FOG_COLOR, fogColor);
glHint(GL_FOG_HINT, GL_DONT_CARE);
glFogf(GL_FOG_DENSITY, 0.1);
glFogf(GL_FOG_START, (float)5.0f);
glFogf(GL_FOG_END, (float)50.0f);
glEnable(GL_FOG);
Can anybody explain why this is?

GL_FOG_START and GL_FOG_END only have any effect when fog mode is set to GL_LINEAR. GL_DENSITY is used when fog mode is GL_EXP or GL_EXP2.

GL_FOG_START and _END only work when you are using GL_LINEAR as the fog mode.
quote:
GL_FOG_START: The params parameter is a single integer or floating-point value that specifies start, the near distance used in the linear fog equation. The default near distance is 0.0.
quote:
GL_FOG_END: The params parameter is a single integer or floating-point value that specifies end, the far distance used in the linear fog equation. The default far distance is 1.0.
GL_FOG_START and _END only work when you are using GL_LINEAR as the fog mode.
EDIT: Do'h, I was beaten (too slow)!
That would be because you're using GL_EXP2 as the fog mode. In any EXP fog mode, the start and end have no effect, but the density affects it. Use GL_LINEAR as the fog mode, and start and end will have an effect, but the density will not.
