God rays effect

Cast rays of light from the top of the screen. This won't work well if shown on top of the background color of the scene. Be sure to use an object acting as a background or a floor.

Use Center X and Center Y to place the light source, and Angle to tilt the rays. Turn on Parallel for evenly spread sunlight-style rays, or turn it off to make the rays fan out from the center point (like a spotlight). Gain and Lacunarity adjust how strong and detailed the beams look, and increasing Animation speed makes them shimmer over time.
