    Hello everyone,

    I am glad to share that I have extended an opensource volumetric rendering library recently to create effects like : God-Rays and/or Light-Shafts.

    The idea was to take a step further in the creation of fog and make sure the occlusions of the geometry are as appropriate as possible.

    Following are the videos that have been rendered using the UnityRecorder :




    Please do write in your thoughts and comments.

    Thank You!
