Hi guys,
I'm wondering how can we get a production ready volumic light with Karma?
Thank you.

If you have an emissive volume.
Then you can set the geometry property "treat as lightsource" and Karma will treat it as a volume light (ie you'll get better sampling).
Regarding being able to use it as a light elsewhere (eg light-linking etc...), that will be a few months away I'm afraid, as we're limited by USD in that regard. But the good news is that the USD guys are "working on it"
Cheers

if you are talking about volumetric light (aka god rays) then you will need to place a volume in your scene angd light it by lights, usually directional or point for sharper and more visble volumetric shadows
you should be able to use Karma Fog Box LOP to easily create a volume box in your scene
