The Atmosphere Render Element stores only atmospheric or volumetric participating media such as fog or Aerial Perspective. This render element can then be used to enhance or color-correct just the atmospheric component of the image during the compositing process.

When atmospheric effects or fog is included in a scene, they will render into the Beauty|RGB channel, and should also be output as the VRayAtmosphere channel for compositing use.

This render element is enabled through the Render Elements tab of the Render Setup window in 3ds Max and displays its parameters in a rollout at the bottom of the window:
