Good Lens Effects / Special effects tutorials?

I’m really keen on getting lens effects and stuff going but all the cool videos use a heap of python.
Is there any good tutorials possibly teaching how to use python for lens flares? I can’t seem to find much.

Also any good tutorials on how to make fire, smoke, special effects stuff?? (addons don’t seem to work for me :frowning: )

I’m just trying to patch up my weak points:p.

Any help appreciated :slight_smile:

Thanks

Hey!

  1. Special effects: Stuff like fire and smoke are normally achieved with animated textures, search for it on the internet and you should find a good tutorial!
    2.Lense effects: There are some tutorials for lense flares, but those I know only work with Blender 2.49.
    You should be able create flares even without script tho, it’s fairly simple just have aplane with a flare texture that tracks to the camera and a ray sensors that proves wether the cam is in sight or not, if not it the plane plays a visibiliy action (Alpha 1 to Alpha 0).

Hope this helped!
