Have you ever seen how a light streaks when
it shines through a window? The beam of light that emits from the light source can be
replicated in LightWave with volumetrics. Volumetric settings add volume to a light
source.Additionally, you can add textures to a volumetric light to create all sorts of interesting
light beams.
