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?

a "lens flare" can make that fuzzy brightness around the sun. Do a search in the help for specifics.

yes I know about lens flares. but just put a light there? what kind so you see it good?

a sphere with a glow perhaps?

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.

I would make it a little lighter with a tint of orange. With lens flare it should look fine either way.

I couldn't seem to get the lens flare working :blink:

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.

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?
