In addition to the object-specific parameters discussed above, Ultraflares also has global parameters. Most triggering values range from 200 to -200 but the scale triggering value ranges from 1000 to -1000.
Each object’s trigger value is located to the right of its controller value and the trigger mask can be displayed by clicking on the Display Trigger button. Triggering is an extremely powerful tool for creating ultra-realistic lens flares. For instance, an iris can scale up as it moves towards the screen edges, a glow can become brighter as it approaches screen center, or a streak can flare up when it leaves the screen altogether. Triggering opens up an infinite number of possibilities. A trigger mask is a gradient that defines how objects behave according to what position they are at. Adding a multi-iris object will unlock an additional set of controls that affect the sub-objects in the multi-iris object such as intensity, sizing, positioning, etc.įinally, each object also carries its own specific trigger mask. The multi-iris object is the most complex object Ultraflares has to offer.
By combining various movement ranges together, lens flares can be designed to behave in very realistic ways.

Some objects may be free to move in all axes, while others may be locked to horizontal or vertical axes. This describes how the object moves in relation to the lens flare light source. Additionally, each object may have its own set of transformation parameters. Each object can be meticulously adjusted using these parameters to reach the desired look intended. For instance, a glow object will have a gamma parameter (among many others) while an iris object will have a number of blades parameter (among many others). When the lens flare is applied to the image, the stack is essentially flattened into one pane and placed over the image.Įvery object dropped into the stack holds its own unique set of parameters based on the type of object that it is. You can adjust the order of the panes by deleting, duplicating, renaming or disabling them. Each time a new object is added, a new pane is placed on top of the previous one, combining the images on the panes into a lens flare. If you’re not quite happy with the colour chosen, you can use the Hue/Saturation Adjustment (Ctrl + U) to adjust the colour slightly.It is helpful to visualize the stack as a number of transparent, glass panes. Then use the free-transform tool to compress it down, as shown below:
