# Camera Fade
|
|
|
|
Menu Path : **Output > Camera Fade**
|
|
|
|
The **Camera Fade** Block fades out particles when they are too close to the near plane of the camera. It calculates an interpolation of the current depth between provided its **Faded Distance** and the **Visible Distance** properties to determine the amount of fade to apply. To fade particles, this Block modifies their color and/or alpha attributes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you input a **Faded Distance** that is greater than the **Visible Distance**, the result is that particles fade in as they come close to the camera, rather than fade out as they come close.

| **Cull When Faded** | Bool | **(Inspector)** Indicates whether to cull the particle culled when it is fully faded to reduce overdraw. |
|
|
| **Fade Mode** | Enum | Specifies how to fade the particle out when it gets near the camera. The options are:<br/>• **Color**: Fades out the particle's color.<br/>• **Alpha**: Fades out the particle's alpha.<br/>• **Color And Alpha**: Fades out both the particle's color and its alpha. |

|
|
| **Faded Distance** | float | The distance from the camera at which to fully fade out the particle. |
|
|
| **Visible Distance** | float | The distance from the camera at which to begin to fade out the particle. At this distance, the particle is fully visible. Between this distance and **Faded Distance**, the particle fades out. |
