You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Distance fog''' is a technique used in [[3D computer graphics]] to enhance the [[depth perception|perception]] of distance by [[shading]] distant objects differently.<ref name="NGen15">((cite magazine|title=The Next Generation 1996 Lexicon A to Z: Depth Shading|magazine=[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]|issue=15 |publisher=[[Imagine Media]]|date=March 1996|page=32))</ref>

Because many of the shapes in graphical environments are relatively simple, and complex [[shadow]]s are difficult to [[rendering (computer graphics)|render]], many [[Game engine|graphics engines]] employ a "[[fog]]" [[gradient]] so objects further from the [[virtual camera|camera]] are progressively more obscured by [[haze]] and by [[aerial perspective]].<ref>((Cite book | last1 = Elena | first1 = Deza|author1-link=Elena Deza | last2 = Michel Deza | author2-link = Michel Deza | title = Encyclopedia of Distances | publisher = Springer-Verlag | year = 2009 | page = 513 | url = http://www.liga.ens.fr/~deza/495-528.pdf | access-date = 2011-09-25 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120223143010/http://www.liga.ens.fr/~deza/495-528.pdf | archive-date = 2012-02-23 | url-status = dead ))</ref> This technique simulates the effect of [[diffraction|light scattering]], which causes more distant objects to appear lower in [[Contrast (vision)|contrast]], especially in outdoor environments.

[[File:CGfog.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Example of distance fog]]

[[Visibility]] in a natural haze [[Visibility#Derivation|declines exponentially]], not [[Linearity|linearly]], with distance due to [[scattering]]. The colour of the light being scattered into the viewing path affects the [[aerial perspective|colour of the haze]]; blue under blue skies, reddish near sunset, as with [[alpenglow]]. These more subtle details are represented in some graphics.

"Fogging" is another use of distance fog in mid-to-late 1990s games, when processing power was not enough to render far [[Draw distance|viewing distances]], and [[Clipping (computer graphics)|clipping]] was employed. Clipping could be very distracting since bits and pieces of polygons would flicker in and out of view instantly, and by applying a medium-ranged distance fog, the clipped [[polygon]]s would appear at a sufficiently far distance that they were obscured by the fog, fading in as the player approached.<ref name="NGen15"/>
