Table fog effect summary
Fog is a special effect that is used to blend a scene into a predefined color to give the impression that "fog" is present in the scene. Fog is usually implemented as it appears in the physical world. The farther the objects are, the more they are obscured by fog. Objects that are close to the observer are clearer.
Table fog, also called pixel fog, is calculated independent of vertices. Ideally, fog is calculated on a pixel basis, but many device drivers emulate this feature in software with vertex fog values. It is called table fog because traditionally tables have been used to look up fog values. The RIVA 128, RIVA128ZX and the RIVA TNT all emulate table fog using vertex based fog. The GeForce 256 supports table fog in hardware.[1][2]
Graphics cards which support table fog
- 3dfx cards[3]
- NVIDIA cards[4]
- Matrox G4xx and G5xx cards[5][6][7]
- PowerVR cards[8]
- S3 Savage4 cards[9][10]
- ATI Rage 128 Pro cards[11]
Graphics cards which don't support table tog
Note: Under Windows 98, partial table fog support on ATI Radeon cards can be enabled via registry tweaks. Since Windows XP, full table fog support becomes available when Catalyst drivers version 7.11 or newer are used (screenshots). On more current Windows versions, table fog is still supported but in most cases, it is disabled due to driver bugs, and can be restored by using certain wrappers.
Games which use table fog
- Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord (2000)[16]
- Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord Special Edition (2003)[17]
- Combat Mission II: Barbarossa to Berlin (2002)[18]
- Combat Mission 3: Afrika Korps (2003)[19]
- European Air War (1998)[20][21]
- Flight Unlimited II (1997)[22]
- Heavy Gear II (1999)[23]
- Myth II: Soulblighter (1998)[24]
- Need for Speed: High Stakes (1999)[25][26]
- Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999)[27]
- Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (1997)[28]
- Thief II: The Metal Age (2000)[29]
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear (1999)[30]
- Xarlor - Infinite Expanse (2000)[31]
Note: This list is incomplete. It merely shows the currently known games for which table fog use has been confirmed by testing. These games show visual differences on graphics cards that don't support table fog.
