TheSpleen Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I am sure there is a simple answer to this. I need a shot of a desert sun as if someone were looking straight up at it. so blue sky and sun only. then I am going to animate circling buzzards. Any suggestions on a good sun please?

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 12, 2008 Hash Fellow Share Posted November 12, 2008 a "lens flare" can make that fuzzy brightness around the sun. Do a search in the help for specifics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 12, 2008 Hash Fellow Share Posted November 12, 2008 lights themselves are not visible by the camera. You need to add a lensflare, which is really just a trick that adds the flash around the light location. Any sort of light should work. a sphere with glow may do fine also with out a light at all.

TheSpleen Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 How's that look? Look hot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterFunk Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I would make it a little lighter with a tint of orange. With lens flare it should look fine either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't seem to get the lens flare working I turned it on but nothing. but it came out good with the vulture being block out around the edges by the suns glow, so It worked good enough.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 13, 2008 Hash Fellow Share Posted November 13, 2008 The Sun wouldn't have any part of it shaded or in shadow. The sun is light and nothing else. You'd have to set that sphere to 100% ambient intensity. But why are you not using a lens flare? lightWithFlare.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 13, 2008 Hash Fellow Share Posted November 13, 2008 hmmmm guess I dont know how to use a lit file load it into your objects folder. It's just a light with lens flare on and tweaked a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
