How to get a lighthouse to shine a lightbeam I was wondering how i can get my lighthouse to shine a clean and realistic beam.
I cant get my volume density low enough to get the desired result.
Do any of you know how to maybe get a volume emission to work like a gradient?
So that the light cone is less intense the further its away?

or can i add some invisible geometry that is in the way of the light but in all other respects transparent?
Light baking maybe?

It looks like this node setup works not too bad:


I've created a simple light ball for the light source, maybe you should add a bit of glow around as it's explained here: How do I make a luminescent gas cloud?
Now, for the beam, first, create a conic cylinder.
For the length gradient, mix an Emission node with a Transparent node, use a Gradient as factor, and a ColorRamp to control its intensity.
For the width gradient, mix the first Mix Shader with the Transparent node, use a Layer Weight as factor, and a ColorRamp to control its intensity.
To add a bit of noise you could mix the previous nodes with the Transparent node, with a Noise texture as a factor.
