Those are volumetric effects, right click on the light then enable volumetrics.

I JUST did this with a tf2 MVM map by decompiling it with BSPSource (http://www.ata4.info/bspsrc/downloads.html) then opening it in hammer. Once it was open in hammer I went around and deleted the lights I did not want. After that I found the light_environment entity and removed that which made the scene 100% where there were no lights.

Hope that helps... not sure how hammer works with dota 2 maps.

Yeah, that's what I do to light the whole map dynamically, should be the same with any bsp.

You can also use Videocopilot Lens flare studio for AE.

I don't think it has a technical term, besides lens flare/glare?

Lens Dust?

Always best to do the audio work in post.

Your best bet is to keep SFM default when your working but then set the 1080p launch option only when your going to render because it will slow down your viewport fps significantly.

There is also no difference in redner time between 720p and 1080p.

Yeah, blading is your best idea, or animate the root of the model going below the floor in one frame.

If the map is not HDR then it's completely fullbright, meaning there is no lighting, plus the bloom system in SFM works off of HDR, so no HDR and a lot of things don't work right.
