Volumetric Lighting
Volumetric Lighting in rendering means simulating how light interacts with particles in the air, like dust, fog, or smoke, to create visible beams or shafts of light. Designers can use this effect to make a space look more dramatic or to highlight certain parts of a scene. In digital rendering, adjusting the density and color of the particles changes how thick or soft the light beams look. Volumetric Lighting can help show the time of day or set a mood by changing how light spreads and fades in a room or landscape.
