Re: light beam effect The links are correct, but for security reasons you can't open them because this forum is in HTTPS and the target site is in HTTP. You may either move to the insecure version of that thread by deleting the S from the URL, or right click the target link/image, select "copy link/image address" and paste it in the address bar. I have downloaded the file and I've found the trick, it uses a fake half-transparent beam to partially catch the light and reflect it toward the camera. In other words it simulates the presence of mid-air dust or fog. Very ingenious! The limit is, since the beam is flat, it must face the camera to be seen correctly. An improvement could be to create a dust volume by placing small triangles randomly within the light beam, but it would require a lot of work if done manually. Maybe a script could generate the particles more efficiently. |
