#Volumetrics

2025-05-26

Playing with #LuxCore caustics and volumetric scattering. I have no idea what I'm doing, but the effect is really interesting. I'm planning on doing a water-heavy scene in the future, so I might have to mess with LuxCore soon. It having its own full set of materials and lighting makes it feel very foreign to work with, but the effects look so much better than Cycles when it comes to caustics and volumes. I wonder how well it works with things like fire (I have no idea how you'd introduce things like the heat attribute into the LuxCore material panels for setting up emission correctly, for instance).

A 3D render of a glass of red wine with a spotlight shining on it.  The light refracts through the glass, shining a crescent of light beyond its shadow.  The glass radiates beams of red light in all directions.

One more time, just messing around UE5 with lightshafts and volumetrics... I think tho, that I will be faking godrays with a cone...
