Visual artifacts

Below are some visual artifacts that can appear and how to fix them.

Blocky lights

• Lower light intensity, local fog density, volume override intensity.
• Higher anisotropic & softness.

Light banding/acne

• Increase depth bias.

Sun can be seen through a wall

• Increase anisotropic.

Spot/Point lights leak through a wall

• Enable additional light shadows in URP settings.

Pixelated lights on tree leaves

• With artifact
• Without artifact

BEAM renders volumetric light on a canvas that is smaller than the screen resolution, so aliasing artifacts is somewhat inevitable but can be tone down so it is harder to spot.

• Reduce Alpha Cutoff value if your tree shader has one.
• Increase Softness in volume override.
• Decrease Intensity in volume override.
• Choose higher quality level in the renderer feature if affordable.
