Description

Fog properties are hidden when Lighting contains an Atmosphere object.

The Atmosphere object pushes Roblox closer toward realistic environments where sunlight scatters in different ways depending on density and other air particle properties. It simulates real-world "aerial perspective" and lets you control light transmission from the background sky through distant objects. Furthermore, it controls haze and glare conditions, letting you tune a perfect sunset, foggy afternoon, and more.
