I do this a lot so I can integrate Particular / Form with the rest of my co= mp.

Apply the fill effect to each layer, add the following expression to the co= lour:

near=3D0;
far=3D10000;
cp=3DthisComp.layer("Camera 1").toWorld([0,0,0]);
lp=3DthisLayer.toWorld(anchorPoint);
d=3Dlength(cp,lp);
d=3Dlinear(d,near,far,0,1);
[d,d,d,1]

Adjust the near and far as needed.
This isnt perfect but it's a free and fast solution.

I once asked about this because I wanted to us Frischluft on a scene. I
never tried it, but someone suggested using a light with linear falloff to<= br> generate a luminance pass.
