Effect

Enabled

Switches the flare effect on or off.

Flare

Flare File	Specifies a flare file preset from the drop-down menu. Click and scroll through the list to see more flare file selections.
Brightness	Controls the overall brightness of the flares. The brightness and visibility of the light also affect the flare brightness.
Size	Defines the flare's size. Default value is 1.
Aspect Ratio	Defines how "squashed" the flare fill be. The default value of 1 causes the flare to be round.

Glow

Glow	Applies a glow or halo within the flare effect.
Brightness	Controls the overall brightness of the flare's glow.
Size	Defines the size of the halo. A value of 1 creates a halo to cover the entire image.
Falloff	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.

Stars	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:
Brightness	Defines the overall brightness of the stars.
Number of Rays	Controls the number of rays per star.

Length

Length	Defines the length of the star's ray.
Jitter	Controls the seemingly random variations in the star ray's lengths.

Angle

Auto Rotate	When on, the star effect will automatically rotate as the light source is moved.
Resolution	Defines the resolution at which the auto rotate effect will be rendered.
Twinkle	This parameter controls the random flickering of the star over time. Humming "Twinkle, twinkle little star" is optional.
