Lens flare effect?
« on: May 19, 2015, 06:26:55 am »
Been wanting to ask you guys this question, but didn't know where to post it exactly.
 Ever thought about putting in a lens flare effect?

I personally only want to include the human-eye-lens flare effect, not the immersion spoiling I-am-running-around-with-a-camera effect :)

That's what I would think would be cool. Something very subtle. May even have an enable and disable function.

Not sure if lens flares are necessary when God-Rays are a possibility......

I find that DCS got it right with their edge engine. Check at 3:39

The screen kind of darken when the sun is in the view.

 ... MULTIPLE SEATS ! I cant wait to see that in the DCS, as possible WWII bombers could come up ... also, if the maps could be done by by modders, it would be really great for the DCS series. Remember when some folks done slovakia for the old IL2 Sturmovik and i havent had such a good feeling from a modded fly-map till the ME-DEM project. Crossed fingers for them guys.

God-Rays


These are called light shafts.

God rays is what you can find in the hand of the most unfaithful husband ever:

Yep, that guy.

Hey.... I don't believe in God either, but God Rays is a hell of a lot more fun to say than Light Shafts.  :)) :))

 I like the way they did that!   That's perfect!
The darkening of the sky though, seems it would be unnecessarily complicated.

LOL sorry..

Space Engine has a really nice looking effect. They have it where there's different ones to choose from.
If I'm not on Outerra I'm in that sim. Or some where in Steam.

God rays > lens flares.

But if you ever decide to add a lens flare in Outerra, don't use a dirty lens filter. I seriously hate it! Ever since BF3 came out, this is considered a "next-gen" feature. But it's unrealistic and annoying.
