Hi all ![]()
How to make volume light like in this sample which i made in Octane?
Trying, but cant copy this light effect in Corona. Any help?
Thank you for answer, so i watched it. Add Volume to cube which is fog enviroment. Still not works. ANy link to c4d how it works? Still dont get it

Itâs very dependent on scene scale, as different scales will require different Absorption amounts - thereâs no âone size fits allâ so impossible to say which settings to use. Absorption is usually best close to but not quite white.
Most importantly here your Scattering is black - which means the volume wonât scatter any light (which is what is happening in a volumetric set up - light is traveling in one direction, hits a dust particle in the air for example, and gets bounced to travel in another direction). With Absorption only and black scattering you are just creating a dark fog that will darken everything without scattering any light.
To make the rays stand out more, itâs best to have Single Bounce Only checked, otherwise light may bounce multiple times giving the whole volume a brighter glow (which means the first bounce will stand out less since it will be surrounded by more of a glow).
I Found solution. Ambient Oclusion as Scattering. But with this Corona renderer slows extremly.
Iâm not quite sure why youâve used the AO shader in there but I would pretty much second what Tom has said here - scattering is key. Once you have some absorption AND some scattering (so just assign a color to it, can be white too) youâll get that effect from the reference you posted. It also helps if your light has some directionality to it.
Hi there, please see our helpdesk guide for this, as others have mentioned, there shouldnât be a need for AO here.
