Sun Shafts Disappear Based On Viewpoint

Question

I have sun shafts in my scene that I've tweaked using the Time of Day editor. When staring at the sun, they look nice; however, if I try to view them from the side (perpendicular to the sun) they disappear. Is there a way to get them to display the entire time?

Accepted Answer

Sun shafts are a screen space effect if you look at a world space one you may try to activate volumetric fog in the console and then tune it in the time of day editor.

There is a button to search for console variables in the console down left then write volumetric and you get the right one to activate.

Answer

Awesome, thanks! I didn't know you had to turn on volumetric fog through the console. I was messing with its settings in the Time of Day editor and nothing was happening.

Answer

I was having trouble locating this file, what is it called?

Answer

There is also in the project dir a cfg file where you can set default console commands to execute at start to not have to enter it all the time.
