The method further comprises rendering the scene from a viewpoint of the virtual camera by adjusting pixels of the captured images corresponding to the viewpoint, the adjusting based on a three-dimensional model of the scene, locations of the plurality of cameras relative to the scene, the viewpoint of the virtual camera, and the geometric model of atmospheric conditions.
