Does anyone have a good example of a lens flare that they could post/link to?

I feel genuinely bad about making this request. I know that other people have already posted good lens flares because I've already searched the forums. However, the threads in question either go to now defunct links (i.e. realgametools) or in the case of the one code that I did manage to download, for some reason it won't compile. *Sigh*

Cheers all

Philip

What do you mean, bears aren't supposed to wear hats and a tie?

Do bears use cameras? If not, then what do you know about lens flares?

IanM, regrettably VanB's link, which you have referred me to, is one of the defunct ones I mentioned in my original post. :-(

I'm going to try VanB's website in the hope he has uploaded it to that as well.

Blivvy had put together a really nice tutorial on this, but I can't seem to remember the URL. Although this tutorial wasn't made for DB, it lays out the basic ideas nice and simply: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article813.asp

Obviously it's because he's smarter than the average bear.

Sadly darkbasic.net no longer appears to exist.

If someone could post a DB Pro tutorial that'd be really helpful.

People might also want to think about posting their lens flare code into the codebase. At the moment its a lens flare free zone! Horror!

Cheers

Hey Philip,
If you email my hotmail account I'll reply with the lens flare source later tonight.

I keep meaning to upload more of my stuff, but I have very little web space (until I finally get my finger out and send Mike at Vapournet some money).

VanB, following your kind offer, I emailed you but I haven't received your email back enclosing the lens flare code.

In the time honoured manner of all evil emperors thrown down a well everywhere: (despairingly) Nooooooooooooooooooo! *Splat*

Please do email it to me. You'd be saving this bear's sanity. Er... if that is not a contradiction in terms.

Cheers

Philip

Fantastic! A really interesting and useful snippet. VanB wins a jar of jam and a lunch hamper!
