After many people liked my first addon (Camera Tools - “Sniper”) I just started the next one. This time the addon will (I hope so) be able to create custom lens flares in your render.
it is not really useable yet but I will make some update videos every few days.
You can follow the project here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFSQhJg6cGLJhD3-oQrYlI1BMznEinCu1
and here: https://github.com/JacquesLucke/Lens-Flares
Here is my next Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMwCw5hAQ70
I think I made some progress
What do you think? What makes a good lens flare?

This very good work, but for me it did not work.
When I enable “new flare element” does not create a new object. Only a origin point.
you have to select a lamp or whatever before you click create a new flare. maybe this is the reason.
[EDIT]just found the real reason. You have to go to user preferences and enable “Auto Run Python Scripts” in the File tab[/EDIT]
its not really made for public use yet. but it should work…

Ui nice. Did you create These elements yourself?
I try to improve the addon further but it becomes a bit more complicated

Hi, i have used free brushes for photoshop and made .png files. I belive that it is no problem.
no Problem
I just read here…: http://code.blender.org/index.php/2014/09/viewport-project-targets-current-state-of-the-code/
…that there is a chance of an a bit more straight forward implementation of lens flares than I did with this addon. So I think I will stop to work on this addon yet and look for other cool Projects I can work on…
