Flares Wizard - blender

FlaresWizard 3.1.1 for Blender 4.0

Flares Wizard是一個附加組件，用于在Blender（Cycles，Eevee）中快速輕松地創建逼真的鏡頭光斑。

這是一種發生在真實相機中的效果，就像景深和色差一樣，在CG世界中，我們試圖模仿這些效果來增加真實感。然而，如果使用不當，它可能會毀掉一件精美的藝術品。這種效果被廣泛應用于電影業、商業廣告、動畫。。。

What is Flares Wizard ?

Flares Wizard is an add-on for creating realistic lens flares quickly and easily in Blender (Cycles, Eevee).

Why I created this add-on?

It's sad that in a fantastic software like Blender with all its features we can't create decent lens flares.

That's why I decided to create something similar to Optical flares for Bender. 

Do I need those "Lens flares"?

Lens flares are the light scattered in lens systems through generally unwanted image formation mechanisms, such as internal reflection and scattering from material inhomogeneities in the lens.

It's an effect that happen in real cameras, just like depth of field and chromatic aberration, in the world of CG we try to mimic those effects to add more realism. However, if used badly it may destroy a nice piece of art.

This effect is heavily used in the cinema industry, commercials, motion graphics...

Features:

• Real-time preview: Design and see the result in the 3D viewport.

• Super fast rendering: it needs only 1 sample!

• Custom presets: 32 presets.

• Save, load: you can easily save your creation and reuse it any time, or even share it.

• Animation ready: The add-on generates an advanced rig to control the lens flares.

• Camera border detection: if the lens flare is no longer visible by the camera you can make it fadeout.

• Obstacles detection: when the lens flares is obscured by a 3D object it will disappear.

• Blinking : make the lens flare blink.
