Hey guys,

Is there anyone, who knows how to create fog / mist in Cinama 4D with Octane V3?
I created a forest scene and want to give it a look like this bluish fog: http://prntscr.com/egdl60

It would be awsome if there is someone, who can help me :D

If you only need the blue haze in your scene you can use the Z pass and some comp to add that effects, It will be really fast and won't add render time.

Hi SkateStyle,
if yoy don't want to use the Environment medium, or VDB volumes, or compositing a Z-depth pass, another solution is to place several big planes or concentrical cylinders with a diffuse light blue material and very low opacity.
