Daniel, you dont know how much I've waited for such content !! Thank you a lot !!

[JulezChilluminati]

I've been looking for a way to make lens flares in blender for ages and this is perfect! Thank you so much!

[RafiDShop]

I was really looking forward for this, so awesome 😮😊

[siemensohm]

The presets don't seem to work in 4.2. But 4.0 is fine, so thank you very much. Amazing asset.

[chriswhite]

Thanks Daniel !! Thanks Zac !! Nice work.

[lotistyr]

[SubsurfaceTalks]

Now, with the Dust Particles from CreativeShrimp and THIS! I AM UNSTOPPABLE 😈! Thank you Daniel!

[jamescarlsen]

This is fantastic! I'm curious how you'd adjust the workflow for an object that passes right in front of the sun and obscures part of it?

Those 'strange hoops' are Newtonian rings with refraction

Thank you for your valuable work!
Can't wait to try this out on some project.

Quick tip, alt+p on a node in a frame will take it out of the frame ;)

[subomiayo]

Great video, but I was the see the flares in the compositor but there was no change in the black box area of the render

[AllThisStudios]

Solid Tutorial, although, I'm using a newer version of Blender and the Flare system doesn't show up... is there a way to activate it?

[star-destroyer-]

Really amazing set of node groups, works really well in 3.6.x, thanks!
However in 4.2.2 with CPU compositing it seems to produce a tiny (1x1 pixel maybe) box, and with GPU compositing, it's bigger, but still a small square and doesn't cover the whole image. Is there a workaround available?

[TheyLiveICanSee]

thanks daniel nees, i wanted to know how can I make vids like this. it looks so simple with just panels how do you do this? cause I make stars but it takes the whole 3d space and it makes it slow. how do I simple it up like you with back drops and just animate ships? do you have a tutorial about this at all?

[Gatornator]

In the 4.2 release I'm unable to see it under the cpu compositing

[Brand_Marc]

It just shows in a little square. So basically it is completely useless in the newer Blender Versions :) And if you download it on the website, you get subscribed to sth you dont know and you can not unsubscribe because it says you receive a code via email but no code gets send...
