Size Specifies the overall size of the star effect, as a percentage of the overall
frame. This parameter can be
animated on page 6647 .
Angle Sets the starting angle in degrees in which the star spokes point. You
can enter both positive and negative values so, when animated, the star spokes
rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. This parameter can be
animated.
Random Enables random spacing of star spokes around the flare center.
Qty Specifies the number of spokes in the star effect. Default = 6.
Spokes are spaced at equidistant points about the center of the flare. This
parameter can be animated.
Width Specifies the width of the individual spokes, as a percentage of the
overall frame. This option can be animated.
Auto Rotate Adds the angle specified in the Angle spinner on the Rays panel
to the angle set in Angle spinner under Lens Flare Properties. Auto Rotate also
ensures that the stars maintain their relative position to the flare as it is being
animated.
Hue Specifies the gradation of the color of the star. This parameter can be
animated.
Sharp Specifies the overall sharpness of the star. Higher numbers produce
crisp, clean, and clear stars. Lower numbers produce more of a secondary glow
look. This parameter can be animated. Range = 0 to 10.
Taper Controls the taper of the individual spokes of the star. Taper widens
or narrows the tips of the individual star points. Low numbers create a sharp
point, while high numbers flare the points. This parameter can be animated.
Default = 0.
Gradients The gradients on page 6699 are the same for the Star effect as for
others, except for two gradients: Section Color and Section Transparency.
These options are useful when you want to create a "soft" look to the spokes.
Both gradients work from the center of each spoke to the outer edge of the
spoke.
