On top of that, you'll also see some more advanced techniques like "shadow mapping":
The key technique for the Volumetric Light to take into account object on the scene which allow from beautiful dynamic shadows when the light source is occluded

Luckily, through post-processing, you can just do that
By raymarching a light in world space to draw the right set of pixels you can enhance your scene with beautiful atmospheric light

I recently went on a "shader creative-spree" where Post-Processing became my main tool for transforming 3D scenes into stylized art
In it, I share the techniques behind the many effects I built and how I combined them in unique ways
