8.2.Sunshafts #

Radiates sun shafts from the skybox at the position of the sun (or whichever directional light is the brightest).

This effect is a fast alternative to true volumetric lighting, and is often still used to enhance volumetric fog. Because it is a screen-space effect, sunshafts will only be visible when the sun is visible on screen.

Sunshafts radiate from highly emissive pixels, such as a skybox’s sun disk. This means it’s possible for other materials (in front of the skybox) to also radiate sunshafts. While undesired, this is a drawback of the effect’s design.
