  Volumetric lighting is a feature of SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) that allows users to create realistic lighting effects in 3D models. It uses ray tracing technology to simulate the way light interacts with objects in a 3D environment, creating realistic shadows and reflections. This feature can be used to create more immersive and engaging 3D experiences.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use volumetric lighting in SAP Visual Enterprise, users must first create a 3D model. Once the model is created, users can then add volumetric lighting effects by selecting the “Volumetric Lighting” option from the menu. This will open a window where users can adjust the intensity, color, and direction of the light source. Once the desired settings are chosen, users can then apply the effect to their 3D model.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using volumetric lighting in SAP Visual Enterprise, it is important to remember that the light source should be placed in a realistic position relative to the objects in the scene. This will ensure that the shadows and reflections created by the light source look natural and believable. Additionally, it is important to adjust the intensity of the light source so that it does not overpower other elements in the scene.
