# Volumetric Fog Affects Brightness of Light Cones

## Volumetric Fog Affects Brightness of Light Cones

Volumetric fog can make lights appear brighter and harsher than intended, causing distracting and unpleasant visual effects. However, by selecting a darker color for the volumetric fog, the brightness of the light glow can be reduced, creating a softer and more natural look.

This effect can be seen not only in the volumetric fog color but also in the color of the light itself. For example, a grey light will be dimmer than a white light. This means that the brightness of light glows can be modified on a per-light basis, allowing for greater control over the look and feel of a game's lighting.

It is important to note that this effect is most noticeable when lights are placed in fog, and can make them hard to look directly at or create harsh lines in the distance. However, by adjusting the volumetric fog color and light colors, these issues can be mitigated to create a more visually pleasing experience for players.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.thescriptersguild.com/knowledge/forge/guides-and-info/volumetric-fog-affects-brightness-of-light-cones.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
