= SUMMARY =

This article offers tips for preventing lens flare from affecting scene models.

= MORE INFORMATION =

When you set a lens flare with a Selective light (Include) while using FX Director, or with the Camera Settings, the lens flare’s light does not affect the scene as expected. To obtain the desired effects, consider these tips:


 * If you want the model to block the lens flare, associate the object to the light (click Light, then Associate).
 * To prevent the light from affecting the associated model, create an object between the light and the model. For the object’s properties, deactivate Shadow (on Info Selection, click Render Setup) and assign Ghost as the Material Shader.
