| Effect | Flare | Glow | Star
Defines the type of flare you can assign to a light object and how it will react with the camera. For more information, see
Applying a Lens Flare Property.
Expand the light node in the explorer view and select the light's flare icon (it will only be visible if a flare property
has been applied to the light).
Effect
|
|
Switches the flare effect on or off.
|
Flare
|
|
Specifies a flare file preset from the drop-down menu. Click and scroll through the list to see more flare file selections.
|
|
|
Controls the overall brightness of the flares. The brightness and visibility of the light also affect the flare brightness.
|
|
|
Defines the flare's size. Default value is 1.
|
|
|
Defines how "squashed" the flare fill be. The default value of 1 causes the flare to be round.
|
Glow
|
|
Applies a glow or halo within the flare effect.
|
|
|
Controls the overall brightness of the flare's glow.
|
|
|
Defines the size of the halo. A value of 1 creates a halo to cover the entire image.
|
|
|
Defines the halo's attenuation from the center of the flare.
|
Star
The light will create a starry shape on the lens. The number of rays as well as its angular distribution can be controlled.
The thickness and length (size) of each ray can be jittered.
|
|
Defines whether the shader creates a star-flare effect on the camera's lens. The star's rays can be defined with the following
parameters:
|
|
|
Defines the overall brightness of the stars.
|
|
|
Controls the number of rays per star.
|
Length
|
|
Defines the length of the star's ray.
|
|
|
Controls the seemingly random variations in the star ray's lengths.
|
Angle
|
|
When on, the star effect will automatically rotate as the light source is moved.
|
|
|
Defines the resolution at which the auto rotate effect will be rendered.
|
|
|
This parameter controls the random flickering of the star over time. Humming "Twinkle, twinkle little star" is optional.
