Occlusion Radius A radius around the center of the flare that determines
when the lens flare effect will begin to fade as it passes behind another object.
This radius is measured in pixels.
When the lens flare or scene is animated and the source of the lens flare goes
behind another object, if occlusion is enabled, the flare dies down and
disappears until the source object reappears on the other side of the hiding
object. The radius makes the flare gently fade when it is occluded, instead of
blinking out.
Motion Blur Determines whether or not an animated lens flare is rendered
using Motion Blur. Motion Blur renders multiple copies in short increments
to the same frame, which gives the illusion of a blurred object in motion.
When an object is moving rapidly across the screen, it animates more smoothly
if motion blur is turned on. Using motion blur can add considerable time to
your rendering.
You can set the amount of blur with the Motion Blur spinner. Values range
from 0 to 100, and are based on the number of samples the motion blur should
use.
Axial Transparency A standard circular transparency gradient that affects
the transparency of the lens flare secondary elements along their axis and
relative to their source. This lets your secondary elements be brighter on one
side than the other, adding extra realism to your flare effects.
Render Specifies whether or not each part of the lens flare is rendered in the
final image. Use this set of check boxes to turn parts of the lens flare on and
off.
NOTE Effects such as secondary flares are available in sets. The Render button and
Off Scene determine whether the secondary flares are present in the scene. The
individual secondary flare sets are controlled on their respective pages.
Off Scene Specifies whether or not lens flares that have their sources outside
the scene will affect the image. For example, if a lens flare source is just off
the edge of a frame, the secondary flares, and possibly the star or ring, could
still be showing on the screen. Without Off Scene, the lens flare does not
appear at all. You can turn this option on or off for each part of the flare.
Squeeze Specifies whether the Squeeze setting affects a particular part of the
lens flare. This setting depends on the Squeeze setting in the lens flare
properties.
Inferno Defines whether the
inferno on page 6667 settings are active for this
portion of the lens flare.
