Foreground Effects

Foreground effects affect the foreground of the image when rendered and include fog and snow effect. None of these effects are available as an interactive preview and can only be seen when a full render is done.

To set up a foreground for your render, simply drag your chosen foreground onto the palette on the right hand side of the tab.

To edit your chosen foreground effect, simply double click on the effect in the palette. The Foreground Editor dialog will appear. Each editor will be different for each foreground type. The Heavy Fog editor is shown here:

Note

When the user profile (see the section called "Profiles" in the chapter called "Interface" in the Roamer book for more information on this) is set to Developer , the dialog will include the full list of parameters and allow you to change the type of foreground.

At any time, click on the Apply button to apply the parameter edits to the scene.

You can save an edited foreground for use in other scenes by simply dragging it onto the User, Foreground archive.

Click OK to keep the changes made or Cancel to discard any changes made (since the last time you clicked Apply at least).
