Depth shaders add atmospheric perspective and depth to your renders without additional render time. The 12 main adjustment shaders, which affect the topcoat and backscatter surface channels, will work great with HDRIs and lights. However, if you have an alien planet or a deep golden sunset scene you can use one of the color utilities to tint the shader.

Use the depth groups to organize your props by distance in relation to your camera. For larger scenes start with the lightest density (01) and work outward from your main camera. For smaller scenes just apply the 40 density preset to the background props. Use main adjustment shaders first, then utilities, if need be.

• Use the depth groups to organize your props by depth in relation to your camera. Larger scenes may use all 12, smaller scenes may only use two or three. Start with props or surfaces closest to the camera, put those props into the 01 depth group and so on. Keep track by turning the group off once you’ve put props into it. Leave a few objects in the foreground with no Depth Shaders applied. Once your props have been organized you can apply the shader that matches the depth group name.
