Does anyone have an idea on how to animate fog. I would like the fog to fade out over time. It looks like 3DS's atmospherics cannot be animated. I've tried at series of translucent planes but they show a line where they intersect the ground plane.

Just render two animations and dissolve between them in Video Post. – G

Gary, That's a good idea. I don't think it will work in this case because there are other things going on while the fog fades out. The story takes place around sunrise and is completed about the time the fog is burned off.

There's no reason why it wouldn't work if other things are going on while the fog is burning off. Just animate the scene twice… once with fog on and once without fog and dissolve between them. – G

Ohhh…I get it now! Yes, that should work. Thanks.
