  35. Try adding some fog with all the colour sliders set at 0 (black), lower the
  36. max fog amount to around 50-60%. You could also try moving the lightsource
  37. ahead of the camera, and giving it a low Intensity Falloff(1.8%) worked for 
  38. me.
  39.  
  40. Ive just used a combination of the two and achieved some very pleasing 
  41. results.
