I was trying to make a lighthouse asset for a scene I was making and ran into a little roadblock.

I need some help trying to make the lamp which goes on the top. I was imagining a beam of light which rotates 360d in the sky.

I tried using a spot light, point light , area light and even emission mixed with transparent shader but nothing seems to work..

Thanks in advance. I really am stuck here

My progress so far:

$\begingroup$ if you're talking about the beam of light, you could try with volumetrics or you can try a trick with Layer Weight, see here: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/227887/… and here: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/134478/… $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Thanks. I too was thinking of using volumetrics but I think this trick will be sufficient too. Will definitely try it. $\endgroup$
