Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_FogMaterial_property_albedo:

- :ref:`Color<class_Color>` **albedo**

+-----------+-----------------------+
| *Default* | ``Color(1, 1, 1, 1)`` |
+-----------+-----------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_albedo(value)     |
+-----------+-----------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_albedo()          |
+-----------+-----------------------+

Sets the single-scattering :ref:`Color<class_Color>` of the :ref:`FogVolume<class_FogVolume>`. Internally :ref:`albedo<class_FogMaterial_property_albedo>` is converted into single-scattering which is additively blended with other :ref:`FogVolume<class_FogVolume>`\ s and the :ref:`Environment.volumetric_fog_albedo<class_Environment_property_volumetric_fog_albedo>`.

----

.. _class_FogMaterial_property_density:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **density**

+-----------+--------------------+
| *Default* | ``1.0``            |
+-----------+--------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_density(value) |
+-----------+--------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_density()      |
+-----------+--------------------+

Sets the density of the :ref:`FogVolume<class_FogVolume>`. Denser objects are more opaque, but may suffer from under-sampling artifacts that look like stripes.

----

.. _class_FogMaterial_property_density_texture:

- :ref:`Texture3D<class_Texture3D>` **density_texture**

+----------+----------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_density_texture(value) |
+----------+----------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_density_texture()      |
+----------+----------------------------+

Sets a 3D texture that is used to scale the :ref:`density<class_FogMaterial_property_density>` of the :ref:`FogVolume<class_FogVolume>`.

----

.. _class_FogMaterial_property_edge_fade:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **edge_fade**

+-----------+----------------------+
| *Default* | ``0.1``              |
+-----------+----------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_edge_fade(value) |
+-----------+----------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_edge_fade()      |
+-----------+----------------------+

Sets the hardness of the edges of the :ref:`FogVolume<class_FogVolume>`. A higher number will result in softer edges while a lower number will result in harder edges.

----

.. _class_FogMaterial_property_emission:

- :ref:`Color<class_Color>` **emission**

+-----------+-----------------------+
| *Default* | ``Color(0, 0, 0, 1)`` |
+-----------+-----------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_emission(value)   |
+-----------+-----------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_emission()        |
+-----------+-----------------------+

Sets the :ref:`Color<class_Color>` of the light emitted by the :ref:`FogVolume<class_FogVolume>`. Emitted light will not cast light or shadows on other objects, but can be useful for modulating the :ref:`Color<class_Color>` of the :ref:`FogVolume<class_FogVolume>` independently from light sources.

----

.. _class_FogMaterial_property_height_falloff:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **height_falloff**

+-----------+---------------------------+
| *Default* | ``0.0``                   |
+-----------+---------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_height_falloff(value) |
+-----------+---------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_height_falloff()      |
+-----------+---------------------------+

Sets the rate by which the height-based fog decreases in density as height increases in world space. A high falloff will result in a sharp transition, while a low falloff will result in a smoother transition. A value of ``0`` results in uniform-density fog. The height threshold is determined by the height of the associated :ref:`FogVolume<class_FogVolume>`.
