Backlight!

Hi!

I want to create an office like in the Godfather film, where there are just only silhouettes and backlight, with airborne dust. I want the light come from behind from the window, to be in the room mystical feeling, I attached some example photos. Where do I start, what lighting settings should I use? Or can anyone recommend a ready work from the assets store?

Thank you!

 

What you are looking for is "Volumetric Light" or "Light shaft"
In real life you are seeing actual light. But in a video game, it is not actually light that you are seeing.
If you go to the asset store you can read about how they work.
But be careful because some of them look really nice, but are far too CPU/GPU intensive to be used religiously, so you need to use them wisely.
