Also known as god rays, light shafts, volumetric light, sunbeams, atmospheric haze, dramatic lighting
Dramatic, volumetric beams of light radiating from a single source, visible through atmospheric haze, dust, or mist to create a deep sense of scale and awe.
Crepuscular rays occur when light passes through obstructions like clouds or architectural features in hazy or dusty air, scattering the light into visible beams. This creates a deeply dramatic, spiritual, or atmospheric quality.
Where to apply: Best used in misty landscapes, dark interiors (churches, dusty rooms), dense forests, and cinematic character shots to convey depth and scale.
