Volumetric Lighting

Adds a volume_cloud entity to your game. The entity can be spawned by going to Entities->Volumetrics->Volume Cloud

Open the context menu (hold C) and right click on the effects halo to change its properties.

Please Note:

- I suggest using this with the GMod shadow setting set to High - Turning on 'Environment Fog' makes normal point lights kind of work.. (as long as the bounding box is small)

- The volumetrics_quality console command will change the resolution of the lighting. Performance gets exponentially worse the higher the number. (If you are not an animator I suggest leaving this at 1) 1 = Low (1/64th resolution) 2 = Medium (1/16th resolution) 3 = High (1/4 resolution) 4 = Extreme (full resolution)

Recommended Addons:
