Make the billboards longer and change the colour to something like: 0.2,0.2,0.2,1. Also add a spotlight with a gobo, even if it is a very dark colour. Maybe change the position of your billboards slightly so that if you look straight up you can still see a couple of them

1. No one knows you're bad with billboards, so don't need to mention that

2. Someone thought me a really good looking trick. Create 1 billboard, change the colors to somewhere between 0.05 and 0.09 and duplicate it a bunch of times. Mix them up between axis and fixedaxis.

This'll look more realistic because you haven't seen, at least I never have, any lightrays that obvious and bright. They're usually really faint, right?

The trick is to fill out the edges, then rotate, scale smaller ones at the middle until there's no gap. Oh and make it longer.

1. Connect them to a pointlight (this pointlight should be a very dark version of the colour coming through the hole in the ceiling). This will make changing the colours later on a lot easier. If you already have them connected to a pointlight, never mind this. If you don't know how to do this, let me know so I can explain further :)

2. Make sure they all reach very close to the ground, around the edge of the light cast by your spotlight (they should form a slight cone). They shouldn't actually touch the ground or clip through it, though.

3. Start with a general outline of the shape created by the hole (you already have most of this), then fill in the sharp corners and gaps with more billboards (like this which ends up looking like this when the colour is changed to not blue).

4. Place an AXIS billboard (not a fixed axis) in the very center that's dimmer than the rest of the billboards. Set it to "Halo" so it doesn't look weird when you walk through the billboards. This will act as a bloom of light.

5. Make all the billboards about 1/4 as bright as they currently are. "Billboards" are created when light illuminates tiny particles of dust in the air. It would take a lot of dust to make them that bright and thick looking.
