Unreal Engine Tutorial: Local Height Fog in UE 5.3

Let's see how we can now create Local Height Fog in our scene without the need of an Exponential Height Fog Actor. This is a new feature which has been introduced in Unreal 5.3. This is easy to setup and a nice addition to the large arsenal of features within the engine.

this fog will create memory leaks in your project, if anyone notices that their project starts crashing and you are getting "unreal render core" and/or "unreal core" problems, delete all the local height fog. there are ways to do it through a material volume to get the same effect if you know how

Hi! Does anybody know how to animate parameters of LocalHeightFog through Sequencer? This feature does not work for now.

Thanks for the Tutorial mate!
How do you create the light rays though?

[DeveloperGuy]

This works great, one issue I do run into though is if the fog is in front of a niagara system the niagara system always renders on top of it. Do you know of a solution for this?

wish there was a non volumetric option that worked like regular height fog

[trexor]

There is a way to change for a cubic shape?
