Volumetric light and Sun Shafts
Hi everyone,
Is it possible to create a volumetric cone of light coming out of a spotlight using Sun Shafts? If so how?
Is this efficient?
In my game, as I am navigating through a tunnel, I want to emulate a liquid environment using this volumetric lighting effect. However Have not been uble to make sun shafts to work.
Thanks.

I would have to research further coz im new to all this but I would guess cookies and alpha channels mixed with fog somehow :) (Im a 3D artist :) ) this would be how I would do it in a 3d package so im guessing thats how it could be achieved in Unity :) ,sorry I cant help more :( (Yet ;p)

have a look at the caustics generator, the free version lets you make a decent resolution, seemles animation and can be used as light coockies (with animation script) to simulate water refracted light on walls or ground.

I want the same effect. Solved it using lens flare and this video helped me a lot to get volumetric effect. http://bit.ly/2JrWQja
