Glowing column of light
I am trying to make a column of glowing light, in basic Unity3D. Now, I have seen a lot of things talking about additives and alphas, and I don't understand any of that. I have no experience with writing my own shaders. If the spot light didn't fan out I would probably be using that. But I need something that glows and doesn't look off when something moves through it. Can you help me?
I think you can use a self-illuminant shader. Combine it with a light and maybe some sort of halo and it should give you a nice effect.
That doesn't really look right, because the light's halo and the cylinder will not cover the same space, so there's no illu$$anonymous$$ation or reflected glow on objects near the cylinder.
Well, in that case I guess you will need to write your own shader to get the effect you want. There are some things about it in the documentation that should get you quite far. http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Components/SL-Reference.html
