Definitely not the light volume related with deferred rendering , but what I want to learn how to implement the effect or so called light volume in the picture.


just asking for my information , to what other meanings can light volume refer to ?

Search for "real time" combined with: "crepuscular rays", "god rays", "volumetric lighting", "light shafts", and/or "paticipating media".

There's 2 main categories of real-time algorithms that I know of - ones based on volumetric rendering and ones based on post processing.
