Texturing a Light Beam Effect with Alpha Blending

Level = Beginner This demonstration aims to equip you the basic texturing methods in how to fake a light beam effect without actual lighting design and implementation. The approach is mainly a derivation from the creative practices that found in 3D game art production. The demonstrated filtering-workflow in Photoshop can be used for the creation of any "cheap-and-good" emissive map (in speed).
