Inspector
Controls Tab
The Controls tab includes parameters for adjusting the density and color of the fog.
Z-Buffer Near Plane and Far Plane
These controls are used to select the extents of the fog within the scene. To pick a value, drag
the Pick button to an area on the image being viewed where the plane is to be located.
The Near Plane is used to select the depth where the fog thins out to nothing. The Far Plane is
used to select the depth at which the fog becomes opaque.
Z Depth Scale
This option scales the Z-buffer values by the selected amount. Raising the value causes the
distances in the Z-channel to expand, whereas lowering the value causes the distances to
contract. This is useful for exaggerating the fog effect.
Fog Color
This option displays and controls the current fog color. Alpha adjusts the fog’s
transparency value.
Fog Opacity
Use this control to adjust the opacity on all channels of the fog.
Common Controls
Settings Tab
The Settings tab in the Inspector is also duplicated in other Deep Pixel nodes. These common
controls are described in detail at the end of this chapter in “The Common Controls” section.
