Setup
Rays tab
Rays are bright single-pixel lines that radiate from the center of the source object, providing the illusion of extreme brightness
for the object. Rays let you emulate scratches in the lens elements of a camera.
You control the parameters for rays in the Rays panel of the Lens Effects Flare dialog.
Interface
- Size
-
Specifies the overall length of the rays as they radiate from the center, as a percentage of the frame size. This parameter
can be animated.
- Angle
-
Specifies the angle for the rays. You can enter both positive and negative values so, when animated, the rays rotate in a
clockwise or counterclockwise direction. This parameter can be animated.
- Group
-
Forces the grouping of rays into eight equidistant groups of equal size. Rays that are part of a group are evenly distributed
within that group. Increasing the number of rays makes each grouping more dense, and therefore more bright.
- Number
-
Specifies the overall number of rays that appear in the lens flare. Rays are randomly spaced around the radius. This parameter
can be animated.
- Auto Rotate
-
Adds the angle specified in the Angle spinner on the Rays panel to the angle set in the Angle spinner under Lens Flare Properties.
Auto Rotate also ensures that the rays maintain their relative position to the flare as it is being animated.
- Hue
-
Specifies the gradation of the color of the rays. This parameter can be animated.
- Sharp
-
Specifies the overall sharpness of the rays. Higher numbers produce crisp, clean, and clear rays. Lower numbers produce more
of a secondary glow look. Values range from 0 to 10. This parameter can be animated.
