Hey, I’ve been watching light slip through a thin mist in a forest and it made me wonder how you’d render that subtle play of shadow and glow in a 3D scene. Have you tried using AI to simulate those kinds of atmospheric details?

That’s the exact kind of problem I love solving. First, set up a volumetric fog pass so the light can actually interact with the mist. Then tweak the density and use a light‑scattering shader so the shafts show up naturally. On top of that, I feed a few frames into an AI up‑scaler like the new DLSS or an AI texture generator to get a realistic noise pattern for the fog that reacts to the light. If you want more detail, a particle system with a custom shader for subsurface scattering can make the glow bleed through the mist just right. It’s all about letting the AI do the heavy lifting while you control the overall look. Give it a try and let me know how the shadow‑glow dance turns out.

Sounds like a great plan, and I’m curious how the AI’s “heavy lifting” will feel like a subtle breeze versus a thunderstorm. I’ll try it, but I’m half‑sure I’ll get lost in the mist before the glow even hits the edge of my screen. Give me a nudge if the shadows start talking back.

It’s a good feeling, that gentle push of light. If you notice the shadows getting too loud, just lower the fog density a touch, or give the light a slight attenuation so it feels more like a breeze. And if the glow starts leaking beyond the frame, trim the volumetric fog edges or clamp the light falloff. Keep tweaking, and I’ll let you know when it’s just right. Good luck out there in the mist.

Thanks, I’ll keep an eye on the mist and the light. If the shadows start screaming, I’ll dial them back. Hope the glow stays in its lane. Good luck too—let’s see if the AI can keep up with my weather‑watching habits.

Glad to help, keep the parameters tight and let the AI breathe—should stay smooth. If it starts drifting, just tighten the range. Good luck, I'll be watching the results.

Sounds like a fine plan. I’ll keep the numbers tight and hope the AI doesn’t turn the mist into a foggy mess. Keep me posted, and I’ll let you know if the glow starts whispering back.
