Relighting: Lens Flares

Use lights in your scene to generate procedural lens flares with built-in 3D occlusions.

With lens flares in Action, you can control:

- How lights change as they move behind 2D or 3D layers.
- How flares behave when a light exits or enters the camera field of view.

Lens Flares in Action are comprised of a lens flare object, and any number of texture components, such as irises, streaks, and glows. To help you get accustomed to working with lens flares, a preset with typical settings is loaded when you first add a lens flare object to your scene.

You can attach multiple lens flares to a light, and multiple lights can attach to a lens flare.
