    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.
