Can someone please suggest what are the ways to attain the effect as shown in these two images. What is the best way to obtain this effect in three.js.

This is the image with some 3D objects.

Hi!
Maybe to use fog in the scene and set fog: false in material(s) of meshes, that you want to stay clearly visible.

Yea, I’ve got the scene.fog in my scene but didn’t know the material has fog property. I was trying to adjust the map or light intensities…It was a big DUH :laughing:
