Lens Flare… (Code – small update & screens)

@t0neg0d said:
Well great... you just ruined this filter's surprise. I went through all the effort of limiting the amount of film available and now EVERYONE knows. >.<


LOL.

Will you give them lens cleaner, too, in case the lens gets too dirty?

Anamorphic lens flares seems to be the cool kid of the block nowadays… you know the blue tinted ones that stretches horizontally over the whole screen :stuck_out_tongue:

Don't get too excited. It really needs work :) The basic idea is solid (I think), or at least has potential, but would require someone taking it a little bit further than I did.

Hey there... I made a quick update to the light map generation which DRAMATICALLY improved the final effect. Only the LensFlareLightMap.frag file changed. Take a look at the screens in the OP to see the effect.

Cool, but where’s LensFlareLightMap.frag?

Sorry about that. Apparently I did something wrong when posting the code. I'll be making all these available via plugins soon(ish). But it's there now if you like. This one is experimental, so please do post any updates you come up with while playing with it!
