About Flare Effect - HELP - how to use
Ok really what is it about the lens flare effect, i mean it looks so cool in the distance but why i can´t just assign the same flare effect to an object??? i haven´t able, only the distant flare effect works for me with the camera, but not if i assign a flare to an object how could i achieve this¿?.
HElp...
I'm guessing what you want is a per-light flare effect? If so, the lens flare effect in Unity isn't going to help you achieve what you want. The effect I believe you're referring to usually involves having billboarded sprites attached to the light or object in question with a texture that looks like "streaks" of light, OR a post-processing effect, which is a pro feature.

Flares can be assigned to any object with a light component. Just drag the flare you want from your project view (assuming you've imported the standard flares package) onto the flare slot of the light.
