How to Create God Rays | Volumetric | Light Scattering in Maya Arnold | Tutorial

Hi! In this session we are going to talk about the favorite topic of all students when we talk about lighting, GOD RAYS! I will be showing a few ways to get different looking god rays by using the regular spot light, arnold area light and also the photometric light. Also I will be showing the technique to set up render passes to only render the volume in the volume pass so we get to control it in comp instead of baking it into the regular beauty render. 02:22 how to add atmosphere to your scene 03:50 using native spot light with gobo light filters to achieve the godray 11:45 using godray in shot context 13:10 how to turn off volume for specific lights 17:15 using photometric light for god ray 22:20 setting up volume render pass 28:50 compositing volume render in comp Thank you for watching and if you enjoy the content or want me to do more of such related content or have any questions, please feel free to drop them in the comment section.
