LensFlare element

Just as with geometry animations, lens flares are exported in .mwx from 3D Studio Max using a dummy user buffer.

Code example

This is a code example of lens flare with a dummy user buffer.

$LensFlare

{

iVersion = 1

szTexture = lensflare01.tga

fShowMul = 2.5

fHideMul = 2.5

iRefWidth = 1024

iRefHeight = 512

$Flare

{

fWhere = 1

fScale = 0.6

v2Pos = 512 0

v2Size = 256 256

}

$Flare

{

fWhere = 1

fScale = 0.6

v2Pos = 0 0

v2Size = 512 512

}

}

Each flare is drawn inside the texture atlas defined in the child element <texture> and is placed in a point in space on the ideal vector between the viewer position and the light source position, so that a <where> value of 1.0 corresponds to the light source position itself.

For more information, see Lens Flare (FBX).

Code example in MWX

This code would appear in .mwx format like this.

<LensFlare name="fileName|dummyName" version="1">

<translation value="-66.253494 84.680115 67.387802"/>

<texture value="lensflare01.tga"/>

<showMul value="2.5"/>

<hideMul value="2.5"/>

<refWidth value="1024"/>

<refHeight value="512"/>
