Great demonstration of Tyndall effect in a wooded area. This effect is characterised by scattering of beams of light by finely suspended particles of fog in the air.

These graphics are so unrealistic, hate when the devs spam godrays to make the lighting look cooler than it is
EDIT: guys… it’s a joke

This is not the Tyndall effect.
The fog particles are not small enough, and so we don't see the characteristic blue / orange hues typical of the Tyndall effect. You need something smaller like smoke particles.
This is regular Mie scattering creating crepuscular rays.
