Need help with weird light artifacts

Tried many render settings but the end result is always the same there are weird light artifacts. What could be causing this?

picture 1 without artifact

picture 2 couple frames ahead with

are you using image based lens flares or something? this angle is not a natural compute logic thing. it’s a twisted 90 degree. i’m spitballing tho. no real clue.

no lens flares in PPV

ive added video of the problem

that video looks more like a “god ray” issue. a shadow coming from something, somewhere. the close up shot has this too. not sure how you comp this nor do i work with comp, so… i cannot make any educated guess. sry.

yes to me it looks like a shadow of something but i dont know what to do with that. Thanks anyways

Could be the Light Shaft Occlusion,. I would recommend investigating those settings in your directional light.

First, try to disable Dynamic Shadows (in the viewer show flags, under “Light Components > Dynamic Shadows”). If you notice the artifact vanishes, it definitively commes from shadow casted by something.

I think there is also a flag to disable Light Shafts viewing.

This will help you to identify where the problem is coming from.
