Approaching god rays in interior scene?

aajohnny

Hey,
So I am attempting to add some lighting into my environment in the UDK and I am having problems. The problem I have is creating god rays to come through the roof windows. I placed a dominant light shaft in to try and it was only visible when I moved the camera in a specific spot.

Any suggestions or help on to make some god rays?

(Sorry for the crappy paint over):



Thanks

well light shafts only work when you're looking at the source. if you want to simulate light coming through a window you'll need to model out some planes and create a material for it.

try making the self illumination values on your window panes much brighter.
