Theon|804 Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Yes, I used the search feature first. Didn't find anything. I need help rendering lens flares. Yes, I have the Lens Flares plugin and the latest version of Paint.NET. I was working on a project following Expired's Helio Sig tutorial, thinking, "Man, this would look great with lens flares on it." But I tried and tried, and couldn't get them to render. At all. This is the pic I wanted them on. Quote "There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want." - Calvin, The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes
Shadow_n Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Pretty sure the lens flare plugin for PDN is pretty useless (opinion) It just makes grey circles Quote
Ash Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Try to run the plugin on a black colored background with a few white dots. *And the question was "how to use Lens Flares plugin", Not "Is Len Flares useful?" Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ]
Saabo Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 yeh it is a bit useless but better than nothing . Quote My Gallery
Theon|804 Posted July 27, 2008 Author Posted July 27, 2008 I actually got Ash's suggestion to work, but unfortunately, I still can't get them to render on my sig.. ah well... Quote "There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want." - Calvin, The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes
Ash Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Bottom layer dark color, Add new layer, run the Lens flare on the new layer. See what happens. You should be able to add it to your image now. Edit: And for those of you who think this plugin is useless. 1. I'm sure MadJik will improve it once he has more time. 2. You are wrong.

Theon|804 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Posted July 28, 2008 Hey! I got it to work. =D Although, I had to make the lens flares on a seperate image and transfer them over to the sig. *blinks* Is it just me, or are the lens flares on YOUR siggy new, Ash? I didn't notice them before.. Quote "There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want." - Calvin, The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes
007 Nab Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 I like lens flares, though I think they look better in photoshop (i've seen tutorials that utilize them). I used lens flare in my sig/wallpaper Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever. We should go snowboarding some time."~ 007 Nab. Ish. PDN Gallery | I Made a Deviant Art!

I didn't notice them before.. Both my old and new sig have lens flares. It's always been there. Check my gallery (The Ash under my sig) to see my old sig.
