    Sebastien Hillaire Epic Games SIGGRAPH 2020 - Physically Based Shading in Theory and Practice Hello everyone I am Sebastien Hillaire and I am going to present to you the atmosphere rendering techniques we have developed in Unreal Engine. Clouds Distant sky Aerial perspective Joaquim Alves Gaspar. License: CC BY-SA 3.0 2 DAVID ILIFF. License: CC BY-SA 3.0 So what are we talking about? [click] The sky is the result of complex light scattering in particles within the atmosphere. On Earth, it has a rich blue color during the day and features more complex yellow, green and red tones at sunset. [click] When light scattering happens between objects and your eyes, this physical interaction is called aerial perspective. Those objects then look like they are in a fog. [click] Last but not least, clouds are also part of the atmosphere, also interacting with light and casting volumetric shadows within the atmosphere. Titan’s Mars’ atmosphere sunset Earth’s clouds Volcanic plume 3 Many other different types of atmosphere exist in space. For example, Mars and its blue sunset or Titan’s complex atmosphere. Moreover, other cloud formations can happen within a planet atmosphere such as cyclones, tornadoes or volcanic plumes. Path-traced references: single scattering g=0 single scattering multiple scattering difference = multiple - single Disney’s Moana cloud asset multiple scattering g=0 single scattering multiple scattering 4 So, the light will scatter several times within the atmosphere before reaching your eyes, and this is an important effect to simulate to achieve rich atmospheric visuals. We cannot take pictures of the real world with and without this phenomenon so here are some artificial examples achieved using path tracing.
