I would like to make a fog in an outdoor scene and really don't know how to do it.

I found some tuto but they all use different approaches (daylight+scattering, box,...)...and never with Max.
And the Otoy help Max' section doesn't even know the word "fog"!
The explanation of the standalone version seems strange to me and simply dont work in max...
what am I missing?

Hi Fabrice,
Daylight environment (medium radius) > fog from camera (a "spherical" volume fog from the camera)

Cube fog> fog is where the cube is placed.

hi we would also like volume light like 3ds max default light has https://youtu.be/HcFiosCMKbg?t=3m9s without having volume everywhere in the scene since octane volume light is slow and noisy
