Can anyone tell me if it is possible to make light such as in the following pictures from Prince of Persia. If possible i would like to emulate the dappled light coming through windows.

If it is possible how would you do it? Thanks in advance
Gerbil did the best I’ve seen at creating that effect in mml_church.
Plus, he released the source for the map, so you can see how he did it.
Yoiu could probably make a softer edge than in church by making the texture (suitably faded at the edges) into an auto-sprite - rather like the search light effect from MP-dam in RTCW, although they didn’t bother with the soft edge effect itself.
I did try this myself but all my autosprites went wrong - never fixed it but I think it’s because I was using the -meta switch and need to disable it (on the light shader only!).
thanks lads i’ll have a look at church and see what i can steal…err i mean be inspired by
