A while ago I made a light beam tutorial, some of you will probably remember it. Back then, I wasn't completely happy with the tutorial so I've rewritten it and I've redone the layout. It should now be easier comprehendable and easier to navigate.

The tutorial can be found here:

Good job again.
But I want to make a proposal.
The rays are almost invisible from the side, so you could old-school techniques with this one to achieve a better result.
I've tried this once.
With and without oldschool lightrays:

I used HL textures only, with custom textures the quality can be improved.

Ah, you mean combining both the fading texture method and 'my' method? Looks better indeed.

Time for another rewrite, thanks to you! :)
