Hi Ralle, Welcome to the trueSpace Forums.

You can find Lens Flare on the Model Side.

To have a lensflare in realtime you'd need to model and texture the flare objects, then script them to position relative to the camera and increase in opacity when the view angle is optimal.

Could be a fun project for one of our scripter guys. Might be something people would be willing to buy as well... :cool:

Hi Steinie, thanks for being welcome.

May be that i don't understand all the new things in TS so fast, because it's still all in english and i'm from germany, but i do my best..... :D

Does it mean if i activate lens flare in model side, sending it over the bridge ( somehow :confused: ) to the workspace, that it appears in there ??

This would be nice. :jumpy:

EDIT: sorry Jack...you're faster..


Thanks again..

Model side lensflares are only for the Lightworks offline render engine. There are no lens flares in the real-time engine (though such things could be scripted, but nothing available as yet).


HTH!
