Creating sun and lens flare from scratch.

Development Rendering

Hey guys, i’m pretty new in using unreal. Hoping to gain pointers from the forums.

Well at the moment, I want to create space environment from scratch with lens flare from the sun.
Any thoughts on how to do this?

Thanks so much.

I have 3D background using maya mainly.
So I was thinking of creating a sphere big and massive in size and place a texture on it… HDRI texture maybe.

What do you guys think about that? This is for mobile / android game btw.

More updates on this.
Have decided to use the SkyMesh from the provided original content… found out the sphere mesh’s UV is mirrored at the bottom half, so a spherical texture doesnt work.
