Head hurts, but next HAZE update will also feature support for orthographic cameras 👀

Get ready to bring in some more atmosphere to your cool isometric dioramas 🌫

Brewing something cool for the next HAZE update 👀

Here's how HAZE contributes to the overall lighting and colors of the scene ✨

It helps to have a solid base of lighting before using it, as relying on it from the very start can make it more difficult to gauge the proper values

HD still for some more details

Another excuse to play around with lighting and HAZE ⛩🌫

Put together with some megascans, some MTree meshes and simple models in Unity URP ✨

HAZE isn't exclusively for spooky stuff, but it does help with the eerie atmosphere 👀

Last one, I swear, I was just fighting Unity on this for a little while, so I'm so very relieved
November 15, 2025 at 3:57 PM
Oh and main light cookies were hella broken before, but I only just found out 😅

So this will also be fixed in HAZE 1.1.2 ✨
November 15, 2025 at 2:58 PM
Quite a fun thing to play around with tbh

I got a bit too excited to share this and ignored how intense that banding looks with subtractive density

So a couple of days of head scratching (and banging) later, I figured a way to make it much smoother ✨
November 15, 2025 at 1:28 PM
Y'know what, I won't be assuming anything; it'll support vertical aspect ratios as well and give you the option to upscale or downscale the froxel buffer to match the aspect ratio.
November 13, 2025 at 8:15 PM
Another thing coming in the next update: Optionally retain the aspect ratio on the froxel buffer

This squares up the froxels in the X and Y and can help a bit with some artifacting in higher density areas.

It.. might not be too visible unless you open up the screenshots and go back and forth 😅

Apart from some bug fixes and some other stuff, next HAZE version will feature a subtractive mode for density volumes, using their own density to carve away at the existing fog 🌫

Combined with the previous update that means you can have point lights dissolving the fog! 💡

Glad to see I'm not the only one with that gripe (not that I've not been guilty of this in the past)

Yaay, HAZE has enough reviews to show the rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Have you also tried out HAZE? Would love to hear what you think about it (either here or in a review) :D

HERDLING is nominated for the "Best 3D Visuals" category of the Unity Awards!! ✨

There are so many strong nominees for the category, but it would be really awesome if you could vote for our beautiful game ✨

quick proof of concept, seems to work well; there is some banding due to the low depth slice resolution, but it shouldn't be too visible with some more practical use cases (or with increased depth slices/reduced max range)

will explore further 👀
November 4, 2025 at 5:48 PM
Obvs this still works with shadow casting and both the color contribution and density boost can still be controlled via the light color alpha value ✨
November 1, 2025 at 1:53 PM
Right now, HAZE supports color contribution from additional lights, but there has to be underlying fog to make them show up

In the next update (coming soon), global and local fog will have an option to boost density using secondary light attenuation, so you can have just light beams with no fog✨
November 1, 2025 at 1:53 PM
🌫HAZE🌫 version 1.1.0 just got released!

And it's ✨still 10% off!✨

Most important addition:
💡 Per-light contribution control using the alpha value of the light's color!

Now you can select which secondary lights contribute to the fog and which are just for the environment ✨

4k still cause I'm not sure how bsky will react to this

Japanese building assets are from sketchfab.com/local.yany

Electricity pole models are from here:

Red flowers are just ivy megascans from Fab ✨

Since we're still in spooky month, it's worth mentioning that HAZE is ideal for dark and atmospheric scenes 🌫

Here's a quick recreation of a Silent Hill f level with just a handful of assets and a good does of 🌫HAZE🌫

#unity3d #gamedev #madewithunity
October 24, 2025 at 5:38 PM
Here's some of the things you can do with 🌫HAZE🌫

This is just Unity URP, some megascans/free assets, default post-processing and a bunch of HAZE to enhance the lighting ✨

Imagine what YOU can do with custom meshes, some artistic vision and more than ~2 hours
October 21, 2025 at 11:04 AM
Some more 👀
October 20, 2025 at 8:13 PM
Oof, they really went hard with the visuals in Hellblade II

I might be spending too much time on photo mode tbh 😅

Open those up, they're *wide*

(no spoilers, they're all fairly early in the game)
