what would be the best thing to do dealing with this fog thing on my volume light on the window, it doesnt looks real.. the volume light is bigger than the window..

I'm just doing some experiments on how things works, coz I'm just curious on some basic lighting...

Is the wall with the window cut into it a box or is it just a plane?

i thought of that too, if it's a plane then the light will penetrate from the outside

When using volumetric with vray you must use Shadow Map shadows.

Yeah I don't think max's native area shadows are completely compatible with vray. use shadow maps and turn up the sample range to blur them a bit.
