Lens flare and light layers

Lens flare layers cooperate with light layers. You create a lens flare by attaching a lens flare layer to a light layer. You move the lens flare by moving the light layer it is attached to.

The lens flare can only be visible if the light is visible. Light layers are positioned by default behind the camera, so you might have to move the light (with the Position property) in order to make the lens flare visible.

Random seed

Instead of a GUI in which you have to set the position, size and colour for each flare element, BluffTitler uses a system in which you only have to set the ranges. Every element is placed, sized and coloured randomly within this range.

Lens Flare layer properties

Elements

The number of elements.

Positions

All elements are positioned on the straight line through the light and the centre of the screen. This property determines the positions of the elements on this line. A value of 1 means the light position and a value of 0 the centre of the screen. The 1st slider controls the minimum position and the 2nd slider the maximum position. This allows you so set the range.

Sizes

This property determines the sizes of the elements. The 1st slider controls the minimum size and the 2nd the maximum size.

1st and 2nd Colour

The colour of every element is choosen randomly inbetween the 1st and the 2nd colour.

Random Seed

All the elements have a random position, size and colour within the ranges set by the Positions, Sizes and Colour properties. The random values are changed when you change this property.
