A powerful and beginner friendly volumetric lighting & fog effect for Unity 6 URP that produces sun shaft, light beam and halo effect that will bring your game visual to the next level.INTRODUCTIONBEAM is a volumetric lighting & fog effect for Unity, targeting desktop and high end mobile devices. Using froxel-based implementation, it maximizes the computation capability of your GPU cores, low VRAM usage while providing believable visual effect.BEAM supports all kinds of Unity’s realtime lights (directional, point, spot), with shadow and light cookies.BEAM was built upon Renderer Feature & Volume framework so you can easily manage the graphics option for your game as well as setting up different moods for each region in the scene (outdoor light rays, indoor, basement fog, etc.)PROJECT REQUIREMENTSUnity 6.0 or higher.Universal Render Pipeline.Render Graph module enabled (compatibility mode is not supported).Graphics API: DX11, DX12, Vulkan.BUILD PLATFORMSWindows PC (DX11, DX12, Vulkan), high-end Android mobile (Vulkan).DOCUMENTATIONManual & Scripting APICOMMUNITYWebsite | Facebook | Twitter (X) | YouTube | ContactNOTEArt assets in the screenshots were used under Asset Store license and distributed by other Publishers.

There are options for excluding additional lights & shadows for optimization.Light cookies: Render realistic car headlights or stage lights, just assign a cookies texture.Quality levels: 4 options for different purposes (in game use and cinematic recording).Fog attenuation: Gradually fade out fog density based on world height and 3D animated noise.All render paths: Support forward, forward+ and deferred cameras.Built upon Volume Framework: Behaves the same way as other post processing effect, it lets you gradually change the effect settings based on player location.Froxel based: That means it simulates light & fog droplets interaction on a 3D grid of cells aligned to camera frustum. This technique was used in the famous Frostbite Engine and can maximize the computation power of your GPU.Froxel = frustum + voxel
