Distance-based haze
Haze density increases with scene depth. Set the fade start distance and blend curve, and the plugin applies them to the atmospheric effect.

AerialPerspective — distance haze and atmospheric depth for 3ds Max
AerialPerspective adds controllable distance-based atmospheric haze to 3ds Max exterior visualization scenes. A single parameter set controls haze density, colour, falloff start and blend strength. The effect reads scene depth automatically and requires no scene geometry changes.

- Distance-based haze that responds to real scene depth.
- Controls for density, colour, falloff start and blend.
- No geometry changes — works as an atmosphere effect.
Atmospheric capabilities
Physically grounded distance haze for exterior renders.
Aerial perspective—the effect that makes distant objects appear hazier and lower in contrast—is a key cue of realism in exterior visualization. AerialPerspective provides focused controls for tuning the effect without changing scene geometry or materials.
Density and falloff control
A single control sets the overall haze strength. Fade start and blend width use scene units, so the effect follows real project distances.
Independent haze color
Set the haze color separately. Use a cool, desaturated blue for natural atmospheric depth or a warm amber tone for dusty or early-morning scenes.
Automatic depth reading
AerialPerspective reads scene depth automatically. No extra geometry, Z-depth pass or compositing setup is required.
No geometry changes
The plugin adds an atmospheric layer without modifying or creating scene geometry. Materials and lighting remain unchanged.
V-Ray and Corona workflow
The effect integrates with V-Ray and Corona atmospheric workflows and renders alongside other effects without conflicts.

Who it is for
- architectural visualizers rendering exterior daylight scenes;
- artists who want physically motivated depth cues without complex compositing;
