Overview


Section

width50%

The Atmospheric and Environment effects in V-Ray simulate fog, atmospheric haze and participating media for a number of image effects. They also include VRayToon, a cartoon-styled non-photorealistic effect that enables toon shading as a render effect throughout the scene.

These effects are available under the Atmosphere rollout on the Effects dialog (Rendering menu > Effects).
