How to achieve (or fake) daylight streaming through sewer manhole into dark tunnels?

[Rhynedahll]

The tunnels are completely dark. Torches on the walls can be lit or extinguished and the player carries a light.

There is no Directional light, fog, or skylight in the scene. Adding these bleeds through the meshes.

I have a spotlight shining down through the opening now, but this can’t be seen by the player. It illuminates the floor mesh underneath and the player model.

I would like something approximating the shaft of sunlight that one would expect from an opening to the exterior and the circle of light/sky above.

Thanks in advance for all suggestions!

You should check the project they have from the Learn Tab in the launcher. The one that called “Particle Effects”.

They have a full cave scene there with all sorts of goodies. They have these “godrays” that they fake with a static mesh and a material on it. I believe the whole scene doesn’t have a directional light so it should work for you .

Thanks! Sounds great!
