TheSpleen Posted November 12, 2008 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? Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 12, 2008 Hash Fellow Posted November 12, 2008 a "lens flare" can make that fuzzy brightness around the sun. Do a search in the help for specifics. Quote

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 12, 2008 Hash Fellow 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.

MasterFunk Posted November 13, 2008 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

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. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 13, 2008 Hash Fellow 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

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 13, 2008 Hash Fellow 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
