[Runtime Feature]: Atmospherics which do not go all the way up into the heavens, so that you can still see the skybox!

[DimplyPickle]

What is the context of the feature/improvement?

The context for this feature request is that it is difficult to tune the visuals in a project for having some kind of atmospheric substance while still being able to see the skybox.

Please describe the feature/improvement?

The feature / improvement would involve some way to prevent the atmospherics from reaching all the way up to infinity. For example, being able to set a maximum height above the player, or something of the sort, or even define volumetric bounding boxes.

What would be your solution? (optional)

My solution would be to implement a setting where the maximum height above the camera height in game units can be defined for volumetrics, in a similar way that the maximum froxel depth can.

When enabling volumetrics and attempting to achieve some ground fog or mist, the sky becomes obscured:
