Hi there!

I'm crazy about light shafts! Many times i had played Doom 3 i was thinking it would be great if flashlight worked more realistic. Crappy flashlight makes doom 3 unenjoyable. I think u would make it much better! I have couple questions about light shafts

1) Did u invent algoritm by urself or used some known one?

2) Could u write tutorial about implementing light shafts

3) Where can i find source code of light shafts? I have checked current relase but i couldn't find anything called similar to light shafts.

BTW: Could u put all release in one file?

With best regard Shlack Traphiw

Hi there!

No, all credits go to Jason Mitchell who invented this particular one. I only implemented it and think my implementation is ok :)

2) Could u write tutorial about implementing light shafts

Well I could but I don't know if you read this: short tutorial on my blog. Not all of the details are covered there but it presents the general idea. Of course I can go deeper into implementation specific stuff if there is such demand :)

3) Where can i find source code of light shafts? I have checked current relase but i couldn't find anything called similar to light shafts.

There are several files related to this in current release:

• vertex shader
• pixel shader
• C++ header
• C++ source

BTW: Could u put all release in one file?

Yes, I soon will do it.
