is necessary to name them to make sure that when you change parameters
you are changing the parameters to the correct effect.
On Applies the effect to the rendered image when activated. Default = on.
Size Determines the size of the effect.
Intensity Controls the overall brightness and opacity of the individual effect.
Higher values produce a bright, more opaque effect, and lower values produces
a dim, transparent effect.
Plane Controls the distance, in degrees, between the flare source and the
manual secondary flare. By default, the flare plane exists at the center of the
chosen node source. Positive values place the flare in front of the source, while
negative values place the flare behind the flare source.
Use Source Color Mixes the source color of the light or object you are
applying the effect to and the color or mapping set in the Radial Color or
Circular Color parameters. A value of 0 uses only the values set in the Radial
Color and Circular Color parameters while a value of 100 uses only the light
or objects source color. Any value between 0 and 100 will render a mix between
the source color and the effect’s color parameters.
Sides Controls the shape of the secondary flares for the current set. The
default is circular, but you can choose from 3- to 8-sided secondary flares.
Occlusion Determines how much the Lens Effects Scene Occlusion parameters
will affect the particular effect. The value entered determines what percentage
of occlusion set in the Lens Effects Globals panel will be applied.
Presets (drop-down list) Displays a list of preset values that can be selected
and applied to the rendered scene.
Squeeze Determines whether the effect will be squeezed. When activated,
the effect will be squeezed according to Lens Effects Globals under the
Parameters panel in the Squeeze spinner.
Radial Color group
The Radial Color settings affect the inner and outer colors of the effect. You
can set the color swatches to set the inner and outer colors of the Lens Effect.
You can also use bitmaps such as gradient or cellular to determine the radial
color.
Falloff Curve Displays the
Radial Falloff dialog on page 6455 in which you
can set weights for the colors used in Radial Color. By manipulating the Falloff
Curve you can make the effect use more of one color or map than the other.
