UE4 Tutorial - Local Volumetric Fog 1/3 - Basics - Unreal Engine 4

**NOTE** UE4.24 seems to set all engine scalabilty settings to medium. To make the fog appear you have to at least set the shadows to high!**NOTE END**

Seems that not many people know that UE4 supports not only global but also local volumetric Fog.
So I am showing in this tutorial video 1 of 3 how to create it.

Tutorial Project and Demo project free to download @

Used Unreal Engine 4.19.2

NOTE: To all the people who say they can't see anything after turning on "volumetric fog"...The "view distance" in the Exponential Height Fog has to be set high enough or else your fog will not show until the camera gets close to the emitter.

Thank you so much, ive been looking for this effect tutorial for a long time, it really helped me out :)

Did everything wrong for 30 minutes and couldn't figure out why it did not show. Mine didn't show because I had Particle Position, and Particle Fog in the material set wrong. There is multiple options. Make sure you pick the same as he does. 0.25 speed on video helped me there.

[eigentlichchroma]

Thanks man! Never dared to imagine it would be that easy :D Looking forward to more great videos!

doesn't seem to work in 4.19, any ideas? my fog doesn't show up at all even though I know it is there since I can see it as a square while shaders are compiling. EDIT: ran a tutorial file on a friends Windows and apparently it shows up fine, perhaps my UI is screwed up or something has to do with graphic cards / Mac ? SOLVED: fixed by changing the Engine Scalability settings (Settings --> Engine Scalability Settings and then set everything to Cinematic fixed it, idk if it just needed an update but maybe this helps some1, fixed it for me

[arashi]

I finally found you, Master !!

[DanielA-ygun]

Thanks for the tutorial! Very simple.
Although, I'm having an issue where my fog is flashing in and out. It also looks very blurry.
Any idea what could be causing this?
