Cheating Volumetric Light Rays in Cycles

Just a quick follow up to the "Optimizing Cycles" post a couple days ago! Folks may already know it, but it's been really useful lately so I wanted to talk about it just in case!

Anybody who still needs to be told to turn on Node Wrangler at this point, doesn't deserve you ;)

Have you tried K-Cycles and would you recommend it?

Pudding Motion

Ian Hubert

Great video

Something to consider if the intent is to use it as atmosphere/dust/haze rather than light rays, using the noise texture _not_ infinitely stretched along one axis, so you have a domain of fake volumetric dust-ish stuff. still just as cheap but different use case.

Hey thanks man much appreciated. THough I dont see a help channel on there. Is it allowed?

Sure! Go to Ian Huberts patreon page - choose "my membership" at the top. From there you should see "connect to discord" where you can join directly!

To JTM: indeed, alpha was black. In the mean time I tried EXR’s, those worked out fine in both the compositor as vid editor.

Thanks Carter Burr-Kirven! I will certainly try EXR’s, have no experience with that to date. I indeed was using PNG’s.
