"Visible" light

hte number one factor my clients wish often is visible light rays(volume light), like when there is a bit smoke or very strong light beams in the night.
hope you know what i mean. most biased renderengines have that, often it looks cool for architectural images.
i dont know if there is a physical correct way to render this in lifetime but it would be really excellent, maybe something like the glare feature?
cheers

How about modelling a cloud of smoke using really really small polygons?
About 5 billion should do.

And then throw your fryed PC through the window?
Maybe with a sss almost transparent volume... but then your PC would probably get some spiderwebs while rendering...
I suggest post-pro.

I suggest doing it in post-work as well, i believe there are some proven methods on the web, just google a bit. I imagine Maxwell might hit its limits there, even though the 1.33 alpha had something like it.

if i want unbiased things to do it in post is not what i want;-)
sure i know how to fake it, i dont need no google for that. at the end it is not the same quality any way i.
it is a missing quality light has in a lot of circumstances. i want a unbiased approach.
cheers
