Fog question
Author
Hi all!
I've already posted a similar question before, and it was partially solved. But I'm still curious whether a new idea could be implemented.
I just don't know how to make the fog _involves_ all the objects in the scene like a real fog. I have the impression of seeing the fog stucked inside the platform, the model and the containers (it can be seen in the screenshot bellow). Could someone help me?

If you want fog to involve all objects, then for each object, you have to calculate and apply a fog value, using the visual distance to camera and your fog function. Note that this will likely lead to your skybox being fog-colored all the time, because it's always visually behind everything else.
A work-around for the sky box problem is to make the sky box be mostly fog-colored at ground level, but fade to the actual pretty sky as you go up. This can be done with a shader (to be able to vary fog color), or just painted in (if you have a fixed fog color).
Other work-arounds include limiting the amount that fog can contribute (say to 50%).

Ok, I can almost see it, but if I'm right, the result won't be so realistic, right?

If you take a look at the source you'll find that I'm not using a skybox. It is just a simple flat fixed background (textured quad) rendered in ortho view. Is this a problem?

Wooow^2. I've initially thought in something like Quake3 fog in some maps, where it is only near the ground, like real fog or smoke...
Thank you, hplus0603!

how much a vertex gets fogged depends on the distance from the viewer to that vertex, now with this background quad i assume allvertices are gonna be a equal distance away from the viewer thus will all have the same fog amount. perhaps u can draw the fog already on the background texture
