In the LightWave 2019.1.4 plugin, the "Octane Medium" group does not seem to include a "Volume Fog" node like there is with the Cinema 4D plugin.
I'm trying to follow this tutorial for creating a planet with an Octane fog volume atmosphere:

At 3:41 in the video the artist shows how the OctaneRender plugin for Cinema4D can make a sphere-shaped fog volume that wraps nicely around the planet with nice fuzzy blurred edges. He makes the fog sphere slightly larger so that the planet fits inside:
But when I went to the "Octane Medium" group in the LightWave node editor, there is no "Volume Fog" node. The only options available don't seem to work the way that the Volume Fog node works in Cinema4D. And when I try to apply one of the volume nodes that is in the "Octane Medium" group to a sphere with a specular material (this seems to be the only way to get the LightWave volume nodes to work), I get a hard edge on the sphere.
Is there a technical reason (e.g., a limitation of the LightWave SDK) why the Cinema4D Volume Fog medium is not available in the plugin for LightWave?
Thanks.
