How to Create Real Light Prop | Lens flare or Bulb

BlossomStudios

Hi All

 

I need to know how to create a real light like lens flare object or light bulb where you can switch on or off according to your values
in daz3d

Lens flare and bokeh are the result of optical imperfections in a glass or plastic lens... something that literally doesn't exist in DS.  Dreamlight had a shader http://www.daz3d.com/dynamic-lens-flare-for-daz-studio that could fake the effect just by applying it to the camera, but like so many of his products, it no longer works in DS4.  A more complicated path is this https://mustakettu85.wordpress.com/2015/03/19/importing-larry-gritzs-lens-flare-shader-into-daz-studio/ ;

If you're doing this for a still, though, it's usually a lot easier to just place an actual light in the scene, render, then fake the flare effect in post with photoshop.

Switching on and off the light in Daz Studio can be done by changing its intensity

between 0% and the required value.

I think one can save it as a two light presets (on and off), as well.
