I have also used an omni light (visible)shaped just like I do for the laser beams
used this way on Cylon Encounter on my viper model
using several in different ways made a nice exhaust in that video too.
Using lens flares is something I am having difficulty getting a grasp on.
but just got optical flares also for After Effects.
And was surprised it involves all the same tinkering and tedious scaling,sizing,brightness adjustments that is required in c4d for a moving object, but it has some really good presets.
I have not used lens flare much at all. But I did on what I am postin in a new thread.
but c4d setup for lens flares is hard to figure out what what means if you know what i mean LOL
does this help? if you need more info am happy to help.
