I haven't linked up many controls yet, I want to decide how I'm going to approach multiple flares. I could just duplicate the whole tree but use the same settings (kind of like instancing) and just have positions be unique... would probably have a maximum of 4 simultaneous flares.

This is, in case you were wondering, heavily inspired by the Optical Flares plugin by Trapcode for After Effects.

*by VIDEO COPILOT not Trapcode

Skybase what do you mean a grime map? I'm imagining a mostly thresholded and subtle perlin noise, but how would it be used?

I spend so much time trying to get clean sharp photos why on earth would I want to purposely add lens gunk? Lol!

The lens flares I can see many design uses for but the lens gunk not so much smile:D

Here's some more presets and examples after some tweaking and features. I still plan to add fake caustics before release, I tried working on them today and they were quite tricky smile;)











Most of these were generated with Randomness on all controls, and tweaked slightly if needed, but in general this filter creates fantastic randomized controls.







(And yes I do like making cubes smile:) )

And here's the beast of a control list, surely the longest I've ever created or intend to create! I've tried to make the list as visually and logically structured as possible. I know what it's like when technology gets in the way of creativity, but use it to your advantage! Great power comes with great responsibility smile:D



Each lens object begins with a Brightness value control which serves similarly as a horizontal break. Also, I saw this on the forums somewhere to add a list of characters to visually separate them to have that "line break" feel even more. Sorry it's such a mess! But if you learn to use it and take on object at a time it's very powerful and easy.

I had to merge and drop controls to keep the list minimal, leaving only about 2 or 3 controls per object.
