Abstract: A method of forming a volumetric effect on a game map of a video game is provided. In the method, a variable density volume of the game map is determined based on a mesh of the game map and a bounding box. The variable density volume includes the volumetric effect. The variable density volume is sliced into a plurality of texture layers. Each of the plurality of texture layers includes information associated with at least one of the volumetric effect or the mesh. An interaction between a virtual object on the game map and the volumetric effect is determined based on movement of the virtual object. The volumetric effect is rendered based on a cut out of the virtual object in the variable density volume and the determined interaction.
