Best Way for Light (God) Rays?

[jayroth]

I seem to recall reading here that these were possible using the add fog option in the Octane Environment Tag. It does add fog, but I am not getting the light ray effect happening. Is this the correct way to go, or is there another option?

Thanks!

Have you tried using a gobo, or gobo effect with a light? Just throwing that out as a possibility.

You might find some good insight here:

Hi jayroth,

Thanks, everyone. I typically render with PT and my samples set to 2048; I really need to up the sampling rate to see the effect. Sadly, I am also getting quite a bit of noise, so that means I really need even more samples...

It would be cool is there was a volume light like in native c4d. I wonder if this is possible. The octane volume object works, but it really cranks up the render time.
