Hi, its me again, ok I've pinpointed exactly what Im trying with volume light, half is done rotatting it etc(thanks guys) I was wondering how do they make the light rays not go on all the way through, ie the bilzzard logo it sorta seeps out a bit then sorta gets sucked back in...how do you limit the volumetric rays like that?

Thanks

Animate the attenuation settings of the light, you can also animate the attenuation of the volume fog in it's own rollout as a percentage of the lights attenuation

Thats exactly it! Just like your picture of your runes. Think I've got you on Messenger as Tony??? Anway will try that...these lighting renders are taking awhile!

Thanks
