I checked the volumetric world setting, and the volumetric and transparent textures behave like nothing happened. I get this silly result, where you can see a clear outline of the object.

What's wrong?

Um, no. It's the May challenge picture.

I suggest not using the volumetric world settings, ever, lol. Maybe it's just the pictures I have done, but I have never noticed a difference when using that option and it makes the render take forever...

What AgentSmith said, don't use the world settings.

Volumetric world setting is basically for a light environment. To make all light in the scene visible. Like sunbeams coming through the clouds. Looking at the little piece of your scene, I don't see where you need it. It also adds ages to the render time. You also can't have atmosphere turned off when you use it.

I used the volumetric world to simulate distance in this case, which it did pretty well. I'll have to up haze instead, right? And yes, it multiplied the rendering time by ... twenty, I guess, if not even thirty.

Haze is a faster way. I hope Corel fixes the problem with those edges, it always keeps me from using multiple volumetric environments/objects in the same world-place (since verson 3).
