This page introduces the Atmospheric and Environment effects for V-Ray for 3ds Max. Overview The Atmospheric and Environment effects in V-Ray simulate fog, atmospheric haze and participating media for a number of image effects. They also include VRayToon, a cartoon-styled non-photorealistic effect that enables toon shading as a render effect throughout the scene. These effects are available under the  Atmosphere  rollout on the  Effects  dialog ( Rendering  menu >  Effects ). V-Ray follows 3ds Max’s conventions for right-click actions on parameter spinners. Right-clicking a parameter spinner sets its value to the minimum allowed. Ctrl + right-click resets the value to its default. Right-clicking a parameter value opens a dropdown menu with an option to reset it to the default. Image courtesy of  David Lesperance Atmospheric Effects Volumetric Effect Toon Render Effect
