Catchy title, isn't it :)

 

I'm surprised ED went with hexagonal lens flares, which is typically produced when using "cheap" cameras.

 

6-blade iris diaphragm :

As you can see, this lens has an hexagonal shaped aperture. It would produce hexagonal shaped lens flare or bokeh in the right conditions.

 

(...)Rounder flare and bokeh is normally preferred from pro lenses, which is why they use more blades, but with added cost.

I like hexagonal lens flare, it gives an "amateur" feel to screenshots but it look odd on proper "beauty shots"

Would you consider adding the option to switch between hexagonal lens flares and round ones ?

 

Thank you

Yes please, ED, give us properly simulated cameras please!

 

DCS Leica and DCS Kodak!

 

No doubt DCS Leica will cost 100$ at least, per camera.

 

But yeah, the shape is easy to change. It's just the alpha channel of lensGhost.dds

We're taking images of a state-of-the-art simulation. It should look like we are using good glass. ;)

I never liked the Hexagonal lens flare effect and never turned it on, but today i decided i should try to find if there was a mod for it, i found this thread and decided to give a try and create one... so here's what mine look like, if you rather keep the star like sun effect, simply keep the 2 « lensGhost » DDS. Attached is a picture of what i tried to reproduce.

 

Here is the link to the download file.
