lens flares can be good or bad, you simply must use them tastefully. a slight glow and two sharp rays coming out of an engine are okay, but don't put in a huge bright halo, eight long bright rays, and 16 colorful reflections (line of little round things)

Errr, how can I render to file using video post effects?

And how can I change the FPS?

I think both Deimos related renders are awesome, but Setekh has an advantage here because he has a few tricks in his program. Right? ;) By the way Setekh, how did you create that canvas effect? I saw it on many of your renders. It's as though it was made on real canvas not on a PC. :eek:

There are so many things to render. When I left I had thousands of ideas for shots I wanted to do, but I simply lacked the time... boy, I really wanted to do a comm node explosion as in Into The Lions' Den, but I didn't end up figuring out how to make the cloud mass satisfying. ;)

Tricks? Au contraire, I think what I run is far weaker than the commercial stuff - it would be ludicrous to suggest otherwise - it's just that I know every single feature in what I use, so I can use it very effectively. :nod: And... canvas effect? The which? :nervous:
