Luminar Neo: Adding mist with Atmosphere AI

Luminar NeoTry it →Watch full video →Anthony Turnham ·

Demo summary

The creator uses Atmosphere AI's 'Layered Fog' setting and a brush mask to simulate mist at the base of a waterfall.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the Atmosphere AI tool
  2. Select Layered Fog from the dropdown menu
  3. Push the Amount slider to 100 to see the initial effect
  4. Adjust the Depth slider to position the fog relative to the background and viewer
  5. Switch to the Masking tab and select the Brush in Paint mode
  6. Set the brush opacity to approximately 50 and paint over the base of the waterfall
  7. Return to the Adjustment section and refine the Amount slider to blend the effect

Options

  • Fog
  • Mist
  • Haze

Tips

  • Use a smaller brush size to get more intense fog effects in specific areas like where water meets the surface
  • Toggle the before and after view frequently to ensure the effect isn't becoming too unrealistic
  • Start with a high amount to see where the AI is placing the fog, then dial it back for a subtle look

Highlights

“this kind of AI masking is really useful. It can really help us achieve our vision in a much quicker way.”
