Light Beam Dilemma

I’m trying to make a light beam that will fade at the bottom where it is facing the land with the strongest light as it comes out of its origin, at the top. Is there a way to produce a soft fade in Animate 2.0, so that it fades from its origin to its end point?

Try a gradient and maybe a little blur…

This is so ironic. Look at my youtube channel. I uploaded a video on this like 4 hours ago :slight_smile:

Thanks for this! I actually tried a gradient blur and that worked.

yeah my tutorial is essentially gradient and blur. However i did before this thread appeared ;D
