luisarvayo Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hi everyone, Is there a LIGHTS or flares Plugin or an idea how to make one ? I mean, something similar to or that looks like KNOLL Lights factory: http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/products/all/knoll-light-factory/ I know there is a lens flare plugin but I don't know if it's me but I cannot get good results with this plugin. Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountnman Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 well there is a sparkles plugin but it dont trhink itll do what you want either this is a tut on space scapes, but it will show you how to make the light, but not the flares tho i had pretty good results by duplicating the light layer, using the flares.. erasing the light itself from the flare layer, then duplicating the flare layer several times and then merging them to get more solid flares.. added glow and it was cool.. but those polygone shapes would have to be added manualy http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/12288-making-polished-spacescapes-v2-image-heavy/page__view__findpost__p__203022__hl__polished __fromsearch__1 Quote SARCASM- Just one of the many services I offer free to the public.

luisarvayo Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Thank you for the tip. Anyway, I hope soon someone could post a plugin that is at least partially functional to KNOLL Light factory....I think it's very useful.

Red ochre Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 What's wrong with my 'highlight' plugin? You could get the effect shown in the link by layering and setting primary colour to red.

luisarvayo Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the reply.... sounds very interesting.... Could you send me a sample pdn file showing how to do ? BTW, that is one of my favourites plugins. What's wrong with my 'highlight' plugin? You could get the effect shown in the link by layering and setting primary colour to red.

Red ochre Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Here's an attempt using mostly 'Highlight', with secondary colour set to pink, using the 'venus 5 way' setting with the line width quite large to make the flare pentagons. Lots of layers a few gaussian blurs, graduated layers and adjusting transparency and colour. I will try to private message you the pdn file - but I'm useless at understanding the forum - so hold your breath! - just experiment using many layers, running highlight with different settings on each, to try and build up the effect you are after.

Thank you very much ! You are right in that this is similar to the mentioned library. I have done some tests following your advice, and it works very very good. Anyway, if you send me your design, it will help more to check your "tricks" ... Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
