Capture Warm Daytime Screenshots with Volumetric Fog

In daytime, Aria Vision Shade Shader makes landscapes look warmer and more dynamic. It also adds volumetric fog that rolls over hills and distant trees. Here is how to set up scenic shots.

Pick Your Scene

1. Find rolling hills with trees in the distance. Plains, forest edges and similar areas work well because the fog collects over far-off trees and terrain.

2. Shoot with the sun in frame. A bright sun shining over hills, combined with the volumetric fog, is one of the shader's strongest looks.

3. Try a jungle on a sunny day. The warm lighting brings out the dense greenery.

4. Stand on a raised spot so there is a wide gap between you and the horizon. Fog shows up across distance, so open views beat cramped ones.

Clean Up the Frame

• Hide the HUD before taking the shot. Toggle the interface off in Settings > Video.
• Increase Render Distance if your device allows it, so the fog layers over more distant scenery.
• Turn on Beautiful Skies in video settings so the bright sky looks its best.
• Use /time set in a creative or cheat-enabled copy of your world to line up the exact sun angle. Use a copy so cheats don't affect achievements in your main survival save.
• Take several shots as the sun moves. The warm tones shift as the day goes on.
