Question by Baldinoboy · Jul 01, 2012 at 09:00 PM · lens

Lens Flares Distance

I've been playing around with Unity and having a blast. Everyday I learn something new. Now Unity 4 is coming soon! That is truly awesome. Lets give the Unity team a round of applause. I do have a question though and it is about lens flares. I have a hallway that is in space and I want to give it the modern but cold dark effect. I made an object that gives off light and I put a lens flare in it. It works. I just don't like how bright it gets the further you get away. You have to lower the brightness so much the flare dissipates when you are up close. Just wondering if there was a way to make that situation work. I am thinking it depends on the art side and not the settings side but what do I know. Thanks ahead of time and thank you again Unity Team for being awesome.

Been waiting awhile for an answer. Be happy even if that answer is telling me that's just the way it is.

I recently tried using fog; it helps a little bit (not a complete fix, but it does cause the flare to dim after a while). $$anonymous$$y current environment is an outdoor/nighttime one, so I'm not sure how effective it would be in your hallway scene, but it might be worth a shot.

That works great. And if your doing a space scene, which shouldn't have fog, you can use the linear fog. Thanks ashapi3.

Any reason not to just add a script that controls the brightness based on distance to the camera? Not perfect, I know - but it should do the job
