How do you make fog?

I threw up a env_fog_controller entity, and tweaked all the settings, but nothing is happening.

Can you post the settings you tried here so we can take a look?

I've a got a map that is a bunch of floating pillars in the clouds. I thought that this fog would create the cloud, but after going on the valve devwiki, it turns out that env_fog_controller entity surrounds the player in fog, which would work fine for a zombie level, but it isn't what I want.

What I need is a cloud beneath the pillars, so once the player falls of the edge, he will fall through the clouds and a hurt trigger.

That is what I want, but it is really expensive performace wise when you crank the particles up, and I need a big dense cloud, like one you see in the sky. This map is supposed to take place in the sky.

Is there a cloud model? Or do I have too make one?

I've been experimenting and func_smokevolume is the one you want if you want to make a cloud. I'm still tweaking the exact settings, but once I get them down, I make a tut on it.
