VantaDusk & SereneMist
I was examining how a single gust can shift fog patterns in a VR scene, and it got me thinking about how to balance that subtle chaos with the precision you love to control.
I adore a gust that stirs the mist, but it’s all about the loop—set your wind node to a gentle arc, then let the fog ripple like a pond disturbed by a single stone. Don’t forget to breathe in sync with the mist.
Nice trick—just remember the wind node’s curve should finish where you want the mist to settle, not where you’re pointing. It keeps the loop tight.
Exactly, the curve’s end anchor has to line up with the mist’s resting spot. If it drifts, the loop feels sloppy and the fog will drift out of sync. Keep the anchor on the target, tweak the tangents for a smooth roll‑off, and you’ll have a perfect, predictable breath of wind.
Good point—tension in the tangents keeps the rhythm steady, almost like a metronome hidden in the air.
That’s the sweet spot—each tangent a silent metronome pulse, keeping the fog’s breath in time. When you feel the rhythm, the whole scene breathes as one.
