In my latest piece:

Biera - Fantasy Archer

I started with a canned atmosphere preset in the standard mode that had fog gathered around their feet, and when I switched to volumetric it went away and I was unable to recreate it with any of the fog settings I tried.

I almost always render in volumetric atmospheres as I prefer what it does with the rest of the image, but is 'low and close to camera gathering fog' simply unrealistic or not possible with the volumetric algorithms, or has anyone managed to tweak things to get it to happen outside of standard atmosphere mode?

The attached image shows what I mean by low gathering fog - a render done with that precanned standard mode atmosphere.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
