Foggy Spotlight

Hi,

Can I create a cylindrical beam of light or fog?
Like the searchlight in the 20th entury Fox intro?

How would I do this?

Thanks!
Ari
Thanks,

well you can go into the light's attributes and use light fog, found under light effects.
Accept no substitutions.

That id what I'm doing now, however, the fog appears as a cone rather than a cylinder.... even when using the barn door on my spotlight, the fog still remains as a cone...

Then don't use a spot light. Use a volume light that is set to type cylinder
