thanks, i saw that tuto some time ago but i could not find it again. thank once more.

IMHO, but I think that effect looks like shit.

I suggest using a dust effect instead.
You know, those dust particles which flies around in the air.
Was used in Counter-strike Source - De_dust2 I believe, in the big room.

That technique is fine when talking GoldSrc, but this is Source.

I've forgotten the name of the entity to use when you are making dust particles, but I think that the name of the entity is rather obvious.

Anyways, that's just my opinion.

I forgot all about that. Yeah, use those too. I'm sure you can combine the effects to make it look really nice.

I believe the entity is like func_dustmotes or something.

Well, I just think that light volume effect is too, uhh.. unreal and plain.
But maybe if you combine them, yeah.
