Description:
Preset Glares by Josh J.Ever wanted to be just like JJ Abrams or Michael Bay?* Now you can, with 7 preset lensflares. All you need is an object with an emmisive material.(Please don't be like these annoying directors, use lensflares responsibly.)Usage Instructions: I've organized several preset lens glares into node groups, and all you need to do is connect the one you wish to use to the composite nodes. If you want a transparancy background, connect it to "Alpha" on that node, as well.Lens Flares:
<ol><li>Anamorphic Glare Simulation: Simulates glare and ghosting from anamorphic lenses, first by shrinking the image horozontally, adding the glare, and stretching the image out again.</li>
<li>Sun Glare: Looks like a sun in an atmosphere, and color modulates ghosting.</li>
<li>Sun Glare 2: Another version of the Sun Glare node group.</li>
<li>Telescope: If you're looking through a telescope.</li>
<li>Telescope 2: Another version of the telescopic node group.</li>
<li>Low Quality Camera: Simulates a crappy camera. (You know, like the $100 ones you bought for your kids.)</li>
<li>Tri Point Bokeh: Bokeh blur and 3 spires.</li>
</ol>Here's a video of the Anamorphic one:

Written December 22, 2014I enjoy CGI as a hobby and started with a program called Imagine. Though their lens flare needed some work, it was a simple option to enable on light sources. I may be mistaken as it's been a while. Anyway, I've always wanted to learn how to do this in Blender, thank you!

Written January 28, 2026The effects are really well-designed and impressive, especially the ultimate tic tac toe game, which keeps me playing every day because it's so addictive.
Thank you, I'm just starting to learn the compositor. These are brilliant, thanks for sharing.
