Effects Artefact

Throughout a lot of 3D environments different atmospheric effects are used to evoke different emotions and reactions. As can be seen in the picture above fog can evoke a lot of different emotions. It can create a sense of peace but at the same time it can also create a sense of fear. Fear is caused by the inability to see what could be lurking in the fog, or in what direction you should go, and is often used in games in conjunction with sounds to create a sense of tension an unease.

I also experimented with various different colours of fire as it is another effect that is regularly used within 3D environments. This is a simple fire effect with the colours tweaked.

I have also begun experimenting with trying to create a dust cloud effect. This will be added once it has been finished.
