Atmospheric Effects

For today's session we used an option called AEC Extended to search through some pre-modelled objects to add to our environments such as trees. Once we had a set up we liked we looked into adding atmosphere with the Atmospheric Apparatus option. I added fog to my dessert scene and tweaked the settings in the environment option to try and make it look like the wind was blowing up sand.
One of the key points Chris made was these nice effects build up the render time.
