Hmmm... so this plugins only for that foggy thingy that you call volume light? I thought it replaces in game light (performance frendly light). NO?
The main purpose of volume light is to simulate the effect of light source passing through fog. Render a specific atmosphere. I'm using approximate simulation technology here. The real volume light technology consumes a lot of performance, so it's difficult to support VR, and it can't be higher performance than ordinary lighting.

Just found this, looks stunning 
. However, I can't figure out how to turn off the light once the plugin is added, it looks like the volumetric effect is always on. Is there a way to trigger it to turn off?
Ideally, the intensity of the volumetric effect would correspond to the intensity of the Light Atom.
Thanks.
EDIT: Found the relevant option "Alpha InOut From Light"

It's awesome as it is.
If there was an option to have the base as a rectangle (instead of a cone), it would fit windows perfectly:

As a cone, it's perfect for the lights in the studio:

This changes everything! Wow! Thanks again for this incredible plugin. Being able to edit from a single node instead of each one individually saves an incredible amount of time. Bravo!
Is there a way to turn off the fog? If so, we could replace regular vam lighting and greatly speed up this slow game. Foggy lighting pairs well with scenes like this demo, but rl normal scene is very odd to have it be foggy unless it's a scary scene, right?
I will make relevant updates in the near future.It's awesome as it is.

You can set the Alpha In/Out to 0.
In addition, you can also use this plugin directly : Plugins - FakeLampBulb (PlayerEdition) | Virt-A-Mate Hub (virtamate.com) .

Hey, love your plugin! Makes a huge difference!
I've got a question and an "issue"
The light sphere is visible through a model that uses the "hide character" or "character transparency" plugin - which kinda makes sense since it hides the character's body, however there's still the texture/skin in this case....
Would it be possible for you to adjust the plugin so that the light sphere gets blocked by the textures/skin too?
Cheers

So I had created this subscene of a rotating laserlight.
In this I had put this plugin on an empty atom which I had renamed "HPVL-Atom".
Everything worked great when creating the subscene, however upon later reloading/importing the subscene I get greeted with the error:
Upon inspecting the in fact Empty atom I had created in this subscene, it shows the HPVL plugin is loaded and activated on it, but every attempt at getting light from it fails (Both the lightbeam nor the light sphere work).
Deleting the empty atom I renamed "HPVL-Atom", and then creating a new empty atom, renaming it to "HPVL-Atom" and setting it's parent to the subscene, if I then add HPVL plugin to this newly created empty atom I will get the same error, making me believe that it is struggling somehow if the empty atom in which the plugin resides is getting renamed, and then saved....
It is sadly crucial in project however that I get this plugin load to work with a subscene...
If I inspect my subscene.json it clearly states that the atom I put this plugin on is infact an Empty atom:
So im confused why VaM throws me this error.
Is there a way I can fix this?
EDIT*
After lots of trial and error I have "fixed" my error.
In my subscene there was another atom parent linked to this HPVL-Atom, after I removed the parent link to the atom which contains the HPVL plugin, the error did not occur upon loading the subscene.
Still unclear to me why exactly a simply parent link to the atom with this plugin caused it to corrupt upon loading/restoring a subscene.
