Title: Lensflares
Post by: DaBrain on June 24, 2005, 07:40:57 am

There is a small problem with the lensflares. They're rendered behind all other objects. :(

Most of the time it looks ok, but sometimes it looks really odd.

Is it possbile to put lensflares in front of everything else?

They've been in there for a really long time IIRC, just nobody's used them (or documented them really).

EDIT: Besides, as soon as you mention lensflare, somebody runs in screaming bloody murder because there is no camera to create the flare.

One, or maybe two mods I work on use, or are going to use lens flares.

Well this problem isn't a bug, but it should be fixed.

There is a glass (or some other transparent material, prolly) cockpit though...

Who cares how realistic they are, lensflares kick ass. :D I'd definitely use them in an instant if someone documented how to enable them.

IMHO they do not look very Freespace-ish, so I suggest to use them for mods only.

Hmmm... thanks for the heads up DaBrain, TAP could probably use this...

This is why we need a new and properly documented wicky... >(

@Coders

Is it possible to use lens flares for explosions?

That could be cool.

Indeed.
