Volumetric light used in a complex environment with shadows and noise.
Volume Light provides light effects based on the interaction of lights with
atmosphere (fog, smoke, and so on).
This
plug-in on page 7896 provides effects such as radial glows for omni lights
on page 7870 , conical glows for spotlights, and parallel beams of fog for
directional lights. Objects within the light volume can cast shadows within
the spotlight's cone, if using shadow maps as a shadow generator.
A simplified example where the light cone is clearly visible on the right.
Volume Light renders only in Camera and Perspective views. Orthographic
or User views don’t render Volume Light effects.
