Well, whilst aerial perspective can certainly be used to create shots like that, we're going to show how it works here using this much more enclosed courtyard type space because even on renders like this the aerial perspective tool can be put to good use if we so desire. As noted then in V-Ray's online documentation, the V-Ray aerial perspective tool essentially mimics the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on objects when viewed from a distance, producing an effect that is similar in many ways to fog or haze.
