  3D Fog and depth map

  Posted by John Davies on March 6, 2006 at 3:56 am

  I’d like to create a fog look where the fog comes billowing in from far away and rolls through a still of a city.

  I think 3D Fog would be great, but I don’t have a 3D still to start with. I’d like to create a depth map by creating my own with various buildings being shades of gray to create the Z-Depth.

  However 3D Fog doesn’t seem to be able to use a layer for depth.

  Any ideas on how to combine a still with a depth map so that 3D Fog is happy?

  Thanks.
