you will not solve any of that graphics problems with that fog shader to be honest. Those graphics problems are caused by the VR renderer and how good it utilizes AA and in which render resolution you render the original image. There are big differences between the hmd renderes. Like the one WMR is using, the picture quality is really good and such aliasing is not a big problem there, whereas with the oculus renderer there is a really bad picture quality in normal resolutions.@Peter Boese, let us know here, when you release this “Fog” pure
Normally, I prefer to spent all my adjustments in CM to shimmer eliminating and a frame rate to 90fps straight, so my AC is lean, without any addons nor external injectors, like PURE/PPfilters or whatever that have influence on my ideal VR view. Only with that fog PURE, I see some potential to reduce all the distance shimmer and other visual artifacts even more, which are always for me a massive immersion killer in VR.
I just did a direct comparison between the HP Reverb G2 (WMR) and the Meta Quest 3 (Oculus - cable) and the "shimmer" or better called "aliasing jitter" is very minor in the G2 but huge in the Quest.
So sure fog could solve this, but only because you just have no objects / contrast in the renderer then.
One thing you can also do is gaining the mip lod bias. This will prevent high detail in those "line" or stait textures/objects:
Just an exaggerated example:
So distant objects will sooner use lower mips and so the textures become more blurry and the aliasing jitter is therefore way lower.
Another fog solution you can do is lower the fog distance of the track then, like here in Pure Config:
When gaining the FOG_SHAPE, the AC fog gets less distance and will so mask such objects, but with all resulting visual downgrades in view distance.

. I waited 2 years for this. It is quite nice for start! I liked the video. But what I was expecting with great enthusiasm didn't come yet. Specifically, you never feel that you enter the fog. Your visibility never changes, you dont get inside that fog and looking around its not there, the car ahead remains visible in the same amount, like this effect always goes fixed in front of the car but you never really get in it/go through it. I expect when going in a fog patch to loose some visibility depending on the density/size of that fog patch. That doesn't happen yet with this implementation. I hope there is a way to implement this better. But its a nice start !!! Cant wait to try it.
