C++ 3D Game Tutorial Series: 22 | Rendering Fog Effect | Source Code on GitHub

The source code of the 22nd tutorial of the C++ 3D Game Tutorial Series is now available in early access on GitHub!

This tutorial introduces support for rendering distance-based fog effect:

• FogComponent: Added a new scene-level component managing fog color, start distance, and end distance, with runtime getters/setters. It is initialized during game startup and registered in the project.

• Renderer & Constant Buffer: Updated WorldRenderer and EnvironmentData to extract and pack fog data with matching C++/HLSL alignment and padding.

• Shader Integration: Added FogData and ComputeFogColor to calculate distance-based fog attenuation and blend it with the scene color. Fog is now applied consistently to material, terrain, and water shaders.

I hope you enjoy the tutorial, and thank you for all your support!
