Best way to make glare in outdoor animation?

[rich0550]

Sun glint / glare seems like it would help with realism. I was trying the bloom and glare in post effects with not so much luck. Is there a best proceedure for this going from vray to after effects? thanks!

if you don´t link the results of glare and bloom, You can use ArionFX in after effects, or Optical flares from VideoCopilot.

Very quick explanation to do this in the render.

For Lens effects to work (except for realitisic lighting, correct materials and proper camera settings), you need as much information in your render as possible. In the settings don't touch burn value but leave as it is (or adjust accordingly but put the color mapping mode to NONE don't apply anything). Highlight compression should be done with the burn slider in the VFB.

Then use the Lens effects within the VFB. Enable the bloom mask intensity and sample the float values of part of the image where you expect the bloom/glare to appear with the eyedropper ( right click on VFB, first number of the float values should do the trick, might want to use a value a bit lower). Then mess around with the weights, sizes and F-number.
