      I have a lamp post with a spot light. The GI skylight is turned off, a spotlight is the only light in the scence. The spotlight lights up the ground, but I would also like to make the light cast some rays.

      Is there a simple way to make the spot light cast rays?

      Thanks!

        maybe create a rectangle light (area light) then make it a component, rotate a 90 degrees. make it invisible. place it near the spot light. hope this helps.

          OK, so I should try inserting a rectangle light in the lamp post and using that, removing the spot light? I“ll try it. Thanks!

            You mean that the light is ok, but you want to add these kind of effect?

            In Vray you can't (not yet). I would suggest to add it in post with photoshop.
