  • Emitter that emulates the sun?

    Posted by Brent Warwick on August 4, 2005 at 4:57 pm

    Simple question: I’m looking for an emitter that looks like the sun. I’ve seen some that are close but not quite in the emitter libraries. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks much,

    -Brent

    Do you mean one of the sun as seen from earth on a normal sunny day, or more of an outer space sort of sun?

    The first–as seen from the earth on a sunny day. That would be ideal.

    Thanks,

    I had to stare into the sun for a little while to get a good idea of what to go for. I’m not sure if this works for all situations, but it does work nicely on blue backgrounds with not too saturated colours.

    Grab it here

    It’s probably more realistic if you hide/delete the Rays particle type. You can also intensify it by increasing the Visibility of the Glow particle type.
