    Hi everyone!

    I'm looking a for sunshaft effect.. The built on one doesn't work the way I want it to.. I want sunshafts that are visible eventhou you don't look directly at the sun.. As soon as the "sun" is out of vision with the built in one, the sunshafts disappear, and that quite frankly sucks.. :p

    There's a free volumetric sun shafts effect from one of the Unity developers here: https://github.com/robertcupisz/LightShafts
    Still in beta, but it looks pretty good. There's also word that Unity is updating all of their Image Effects and will be releasing the new versions at some point for Unity 5, but no one knows when that will happen or how different the new effects will be.
