Volumetric light in v-ray.

[aristocratic3d]

Hi,

I have been trying from yesterday how to create a volumetric light in vray. Failed.

 

I have used atmospheric effect and added a volume light into my direct light but no result.

 

please help me. I have to submit this project at the end of the month.

 

Thanks a million in advance.

Volumetric light is only visible when you're in a camera view. It will no show in a perspective or orthographic viewport.

You have to make sure that the shadows type for the light is set to shadow map. Also I would set up two lights, one for controlling the volume light effect with all objects excluded from illumination, and another for lighting your scene. That way you will have better flexibility and can adjust the intensity of the effect independantly of your scene lighting.

I got the effect with vray shadow. But the idea of two light is great.

Didn't realise it worked with vray shadow too. It's been a while since I tried it though!
