Since the new Release of 5.4 couple of shaders are gone. Also the Lightbeam.shader and id like to get help for an workaround or fix for that.
Its needed for the following effect: Floodlight -> that can cause theese nice beams in closed areas . Well placed and hidden ...





Any help or new tut for 5.4 welcome. Theres nothing new to find for now.

kinda regards,

Marc

You can use the TemplBeamProc Shader, depending on the plane mesh you use you can create lots of cool effects

thx a lot i will look into this directly- the faster i can change all stuff to the new engine - the faster im back on track

Ok after messing around and mimic that effect my results look pretty cheap compared and simply not the same..shadows all maaa ... is there any way to bring this back? http://docs.cryengine.com/display/SDKDO ... ic+Effects
tutorials welcome. I guess for build a mood by lightning it was one of the best things cant get why its gone?!? Pls if anyone could help.

Isn't this effect supposed to be superseded by correct environment setup? That is why the cheap volumetric fog is integrated. As you don't get that effect without some sort of particle or volume for the light to be scattered into. Have you setup your environment to take advantage of these new techs?

Turn on a volumetric fog and get this effect from point light sources

dhomochevsky: i tested around and around cant figure it out atm o.O cant get it to work



:/

Did you enable the Volumetric Fog cvar?

o.O how
