Download the DLL again, and test (I can't reproduce the bug any more)... I've added an error handling. In some case one ray won't be drawn And oh!

barkbark00 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Feature Requests: 1. Add an option to control the point from which the rays emanate... Maybe you could call it an "internal radius"...? 2. Add an option to randomize the ratio and length of the bars from bar to bar. 3. Add option for end caps (like the line tool) for the ends of the rays, when the length doesn't cover the entire canvas. Thanks for considering these requests. Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for considering these requests. 1. That's a new idea for this effect, I will try it. 2. Already think of it and it wasn't simple, let's see it again... 3. I'm not drawing lines, I'm drawing polygons (triangles), to add end caps I will have to create complex polygons (HARD).

barkbark00 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Great work! I love the randomness options! There's a few problems...the 'Internal Radius' should control the start point of the rays(triangles); so the internal ends of the rays should come to a point. Also, when using the 'Internal Radius' I get random banding(?) in the preview render, and sometimes in the final render.

It can't be in this way or you want you have a gap between each ray. Try to do it by hand with 6-8 rays... 2. It took me a long time to test and try to tackle this problem I don't have it any more on any of my computers (2 pcs 1 laptop, all XP). Could you tell me the setting you've used, and how often it happens? Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan1998 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Well The Previews Like You Said Don't Look Right But When Its Applied it doesn't look right either but different there is a chance that it will look right though good pluggin still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadJik Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 New update, gaps' bug fixed (at least I can't reproduce it). Alpha Gradiant is disabled because it has an unexpected behave with this version. To have the same functionality you should select a transparent color... Download it!

Shagabash Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Thanks a lot! This is the only plugin that I've ever actually looked around for, because it's quite nice as a background for ads, logos, ans sigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagabash Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I downloaded - it's very well done. An extra basic effect can achieve the pic below. Ofcourse, it doesn't look very cool yet, but just with some simple distorting it could look interesting. 1. Do a normal light ray effect. Do whatever you want, but don't have blurs. I would suggest around 35 rays. 2. Make your first color slightly changed (I just made it a little darker) and your second color transparent. 3. Perform the effect again, but change the number of rays by a bit. Do that on another layer and then flatten if you'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadJik Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 I would suggest to use even number of rays 34 or 36 instead odd 35. Odd numbers give a non-symetric result... Also try with half-transparent primary color... Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanooka Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 So, I have a problem... My goal is to have my sun flare fade, yet it ain't so... how can I do this? (I just spent so long trying to do this and searching for it so I'm really tired... I probably missed something obvious.) Thank you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
