I was just wondering if anyone had any pointers as to how i could go about creating a lens flare effect like the cylons from Galactica. One that can bounce off materials like the do in the picture i attached![alt text][1]. If you have any info that you could give me it would help greatly, it doesn’t need to be anything super specific but any pointers on where to start would help me out a lot. Thanks in advance.
IDK if I’ll be any help but you can change the intensity of the light source and how reflective the material is in the material settings. You could also edit the heads up display. But actually creating a lens flare effect when looking at reflective materials I haven’t seen anything on youtube but it could be possible through creating a variable, that allows you to look at the sun and receive a lens flare effect on the HUD … again i dont think im much help but hopefully you figure it out … good luck
If you do figure this out do share cuz I’d love to do something similar
Firstly thank you for your response, i’ll keep looking. and if i do find anything useful ill definitely give you a shout.
