Enhance Sunbeams and Light Rays Through Trees

Locate Volumetric Lighting Settings

The signature sunbeams in Vivid Radiant Rays come from volumetric lighting effects. Access your shader configuration and search for settings labeled volumetric lighting, god rays, light rays, or sunbeams.

Increase Ray Visibility

To make light beams more prominent:

• Raise the volumetric lighting intensity or strength
• Increase ray density to add more visible light streaks
• Boost brightness of volumetric effects
• Adjust ray length to extend beams further across the landscape

Position Yourself for Best Effect

Light rays appear most dramatically when:

• The sun is low on the horizon (sunrise/sunset)
• You're looking toward the sun through dense foliage
• Clouds partially block the sky
• You're in shaded areas looking toward bright openings

Fine-Tune for Your Preference

Increasing volumetric effects impacts performance. If frame rates drop, reduce ray quality or sample count instead of lowering intensity. This keeps beams visible while maintaining smoother gameplay. Test in forested areas and open skies to see the full effect.
