Is there a way to keep fog to a certain level, like only up to your knees,or hovering above a swamp area only?

yes, but it's not gonna look like the fog simulated by the env_fog entity.

Here's a list and explanation about all the entities in Source that let you implement and control fog, dust and smoke in Source: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dust

Also if you're working in the Orange Box, you'll have access to the info_particle_system which lets you emit custom made particles. So, if you're looking for your own effects, that would be the way to go, but you'll need to learn a new tool to get what you want. However, those other entities list should help get you what you want.

Can it be done with an animated brush?

Also to note the volumetric fog is more expensive than the global fog (env_fog) but the volumetric fog looks nicer. smiley
