Flares and glows from lights

[natty]

Vlado ..

im sure this would be possible in vray now, is this something that can be implimented for future builds ?

Wow, good reading - The math turned my brain to jelly though

[RErender]

ooohh nice!

This is what I was asking for in the V-Ray development poll

Oh man I hope we get this.

[studioDIM]

Nice read indeed, and talk about simulation...
The fake eyelashes on the camera made my day

yes..I have asked for this about 3 years ago

[jonnybefree]

ja would be fantastic!!

[percydaman]

pretty neat. It would need to be able to be rendered out separately in another pass, or it would be a little too destructive to a render for my taste.

in other renderers such as maxwell and, I gather, fryrender, this is applied as a post effect on full float outputs. maxwell's glare for example works exactly as described in the paper, with apertures and obstacles (like eyelashes) maps.

The maxwell glare seem to be a post process only, because you can load an image and apply a glare effect. So, this could be done at Vray frame buffer level too or with a photoshop plugin. Do somebody know a photoshop plugin?
I ask me: is a 3D application necessary or is it done with image processing allways?.

[percydaman]

well it would be nice, for the 3d program to have the capability to do it, in full float, with physically correct flaring etc where applicable. Straight post process, is frequently just what looks good to your eye.

[instinct]

we usually do that kind of things in post using nuke...in full float...does the trick mostly.

yeah. the comercial with the dancing robots has some awsome glares.

ya but are they physically accurate based upon the camera and such, or are they 'faked' by eye?

[RErender]

I think the easiest way to get correct scaling , shift and obscuration would be to do it 3D

[natty]

This would be a great feature for us, especially if it could be done in the vray Frame buffer in post and fully adjustable..
