Revolution Slider | SunBeam Add-On

Description

SunBeam addon projects raytraced light beams in real time over the slides of Slider Revolution, with Center X and Center Y controls to position the light source and adjustments for length, brightness, density, and falloff of the beams. The rays also react to the cursor through Intent Ratio and Dead Zone, gaining organic movement with wave distortion, ideal for those who build hero scenes with a cinematic atmosphere.

Main Features of the SunBeam Add-On

• Real-time raytraced beams
  Renders light beams directly in the browser, without pre-rendered images.
• Light source positioning
  Center X and Center Y define where the rays originate within the slide.
• Fine-tuning of the beams
  Samples, decay, exposure, weight, and render scale control the visual outcome of each ray.
• Cursor movement reaction
  Intent Ratio and Dead Zone calibrate the rays’ sensitivity to the mouse.
• Wave distortion
  Applies rippling to the beams to simulate continuous breathing and flow.

Benefits of the SunBeam Add-On

• Atmosphere without heavy files
  Light is calculated in the browser, eliminating the need for videos or glow PNGs.
• Immediate reuse between projects
  Saved presets replicate the same light configuration on other slides.
• Interactivity that engages visitors
  The movement of the rays follows the cursor and extends time spent in the section.
• Control over intensity
  The same effect ranges from subtle to dramatic simply by changing parameters.

Who is the SunBeam Add-On for?

• Those who build hero sections with cinematic atmosphere and visual depth.
• Those presenting fashion, beauty, or technology products wanting to highlight them with directed light.
• Photographers and creative studios showcasing portfolio galleries with their own atmosphere.
• You who already use Slider Revolution and want more interactive calls to action.

How to Download the SunBeam Add-On

SunBeam Add-On is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it at Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate. Once the addon is active, the ray controls will appear in the Slider Revolution editor. The file is complete and ready for immediate installation.

Nature scenes, underwater environments, and brand narratives gain a different reading when light responds to the visitor instead of remaining static. This component covers precisely that territory within Slider Revolution: rather than simulating glow with image layers, it calculates beams during navigation and keeps everything editable by parameters, with presets ready to reuse in new sliders.
