Video games fake light beams with invisible dust
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Making light beams visible requires simulating invisible atmospheric particulate. Volumetric lighting traces the path of a digital sunbeam and mathematically calculates how much light would scatter off microscopic geometry suspended in the air. It turns simple light sources into thick, dramatic god rays that actively choke the rendering pipeline.
One discovery leads to another.
