I havn't mapped wc3 in a while, and I'm having a small problem with fog. I am creating a map (playable ), so the view is going to be standard. I can't find a fog color that will complement my terrain, and I was wondering if anyone might have some ideas of values to use, or certain colors which will enhance the atmosphere? I have attached a few images of the basic (WIP) terrain. (sry for rubbish image quality, only have ms paint )If anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated. Ps. Is there always a certain fog that will complete a terrain, or is it sometimes ok not to use fog? |

A brown fog should look good I suppose, for the values the best is to try in WE with "in game-view" or whatever it is called in english ( shortcut=V ) And if the brown is not good you can set a custom color from it by playing with R/G/B. |

Fog is ALWAYS good. ALWAYS. Try with an Orange fog, a Dark Purple fog, a Brown fog, a Grey fog, imagine u are in the place u are terraining and how it would look if it was real. |

I think an orange fog with a bit of brown mixed in would be nice. Also, maybe some wind weather effects. |

Thanks for the input. I finally settled on a slightly blue-ish fog (the only one that actually added to the atmosphere, and enhanced the colors, lol). Anyway, thanks again for help. |

teal fog, start very close to camera and end at like 8000 so start 500 end 8000 color Teal Additive, .50 density dammit, just saw your post. Yeah I was suggesting something like you got. More tealish though, that would add a bit of tension and mystery. |

I never understood those two values, the 8000 and 5000, what do they do? |

Teh fog will start to increase density from the "start" to the "end". So lets say you have start 1000 and end 2000, then from 0 to 1000 distance it will be 100% clear. After that it will slightly grow more dense from 1000 to 2000 and >2000 is totally fogged. Quote:
