A Fog Card is an easy and relatively cheap way to place fog billboards for great views on distant objects independantly of global or more expensive volumetric fog/clouds. For HDRP. Bonus VFX effect.
Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

Description

The Fog Card is a shader meant to be used as a distant fog billboard when you want mist or fog visible from afar at specific locations at a low fps cost. It displays on a simple quad or plane and can be customized in shader graph if needed.


The features include dual layers, using simple or gradient noise or texture channels per layer as well as speed, tiling, rotation and contrast settings.


You also have depth fog, border fading/fuzzy border, base color and tint, proximity fading, simple bump/vertex displacement and modules for adapting to directional light when using the unlit version, to simulate the time of day.


The last module is of course not needed if you use the Lit version, but the Lit version may not always be what you want to use.


31 noise textures for fog/mist/cloud use cases.


Now also includes VFXClouds, a simple VFX Graph effect for distant clouds or mist used in an arc or even full circle. Uses cases are, both as standalone or as complement to Fog Cards, for example around mountain tops or mist around an island.


Technical details

Built with Shader Graph.

Organized in modules/groups and subgraphs for easy customization and optimization if needed.


Proximity fade module, available in shader, fades by distance to pixels (spherical).

FogCardProximityUpdater script fades full card/plane by distance to its infinite plane.

Alpha value exposed as shader property _Alpha or as public property Alpha via FogCardProximityUpdater .


For light intensity changes when using the unlit shader the shader property _Intensity_Fraction is exposed and available also via FogCardLightUpdater script as public property IntensityFraction.


Created with AI

AI was used to generate noise textures for mist, fog and clouds (most of them).
