 :See [[BSL:Frustum_and_fog]] on how to alter fog using [[BSL]].
 :''In mid-to-late 1990s games, when processing power was not enough to render far viewing distances, clipping was employed. However, the effect could be very distracting since bits and pieces of [objects] would flicker in and out of view instantly; by applying a medium-ranged fog, the clipped polygons would fade in more realistically from the haze.'' -- [[wikipedia:Distance_fog|"Distance fog"]], Wikipedia

 The frustum (see below) defines a set of coordinates in which the near plane is at <tt>Z = 0</tt> and the far plane at <tt>Z = 1</tt> (<tt>X = -1</tt> and <tt>X = 1</tt> correspond to the left and right side of the frustum; the top and bottom of the frustum are planes with <tt>Y = -a</tt> and <tt>Y = a</tt>, with <tt>a</tt> the aspect ratio of the screen).
