The Atmosphere Render Element is useful for changing the appearance of the atmosphere and volumetric effects in a rendered image using compositing or image editing software. In the example, fog is generated using the [V-Ray EnvironmentFog](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYHOUDINI/pages/113280242). The fog is assigned a warmer color and the intensity is increased, using the Atmosphere RE.
