4.6 has fixed the previously incorrect volumetric fog blending behavior.
This has the side-effect of making bright volumetric fog look significantly
brighter than before. To get a result similar to the previous look, the
Volumetric Fog Energy property on Light3D nodes needs to be reduced significantly
(often by a factor of 10, if not more).
In some cases, it may be better to use specially configured QuadMeshes
as an alternative to volumetric fog.
- Quads work with any rendering method, including Forward Mobile and Compatibility.
- Quads do not require temporal reprojection to look smooth, which makes
them suited to fast-moving dynamic effects such as lasers. They can also
represent small details which volumetric fog cannot do efficiently.
- Quads generally have a lower performance cost than volumetric fog
(with some exceptions).
* Add links to demo projects where relevant
- Warn about poor compute shader support on mobile GPUs (due to driver bugs).
- Update control gallery image for 4.0.
- Fix typo in Internationalizing games.
