Hi all,
       I am having difficulty creating a desired effect. Let me explain what
I am trying to accomplish: You know how when it rains and the sun finally
starts to break through the clouds it creates a "ray of light" that you can
follow from sky to ground? Well I am trying to get that effect in a dark
room, through a window, with the light coming in from outside. I hope I am
making sense here. I have played with the fog option but I keep getting this
grey haze in my picture. I only want the fog to be visible in the dark room
when it passes through the path of the light. Thank you greatly in advance
for any help!

You will want to use the "media" feature and a spot light for this affect.
There is a pretty good tutorial on how to do this at the following link -
