Light going through walls and god rays? - xXCommanderBaconXx - 03-15-2012
Light is going through my wall, is this normal, or is there a way to fix this?
Example:

And I was also wondering how I could get some God Rays coming through the windows similar to this :3![[Image: rays-of-god.jpg]](http://www.rvforsaleguide.com/images/rays-of-god.jpg)
If you could help me that'd be brilliant

It's normal for point lights. You need billboards for light rays.

To fix the light going through the walls you're either gonna have to resize your point light so it doesn't bleed through or do some trickery with shadow casters.

might want to use a spotlight for the window aswell, and when doing that, make sure ''cast shadows'' is ticked. this makes the wall absorb the light instead of bleeding.

also add billboards to the window, it makes it look nice.

You could also use boxlights and then make them darker.
