Hi, I'm able to get the fog to work but it doesn't seem to react to a direct light. Is there something other than the display settings that need to be changed?

Thanks!

Distant lights aren't currently lighting the volumetric fog. To shadow properly they need cascading shadowmaps which haven't been implemented yet. Without shadowing the effect is pretty much DOA. I'm hoping to have implemented on an upcoming production build.

Instead, you can place a point light with no falloff attention a long way off from your scene.

do you need to mess with the fov to get a shadowmap of good enough resolution?

Thanks a ton for letting me know! Cool stuff!

Yep, a spotlight somewhat tightly bound to the scene helps with the resolution of the rays. That's what you're seeing in the video of god rays in the 18.5 keynote.
