What's the deal? :annoyed:

If you create a Lens Flare Light Effect on a point light, it creates a directedDiscShape around the point light. Why? I'm going to be shooting from many different angles and I don't want the sun to just disappear because the directedDisc isn't facing me.

If I delete the disc, it works just how I want it to, showing up no matter where I'm positioned. The problem is that it no longer goes away if there's geometry in front of it. BLAST!

How can I make it work properly and not have to worry about direction?

Thanks,

HAHAHA!!!! Silly Me :rolleyes:

I started with a spotlight, then changed the light type to point light, but it retained the directionShape from the spot light.

Conclusion: Start with the type of light you want to end up with or you'll come across trouble, like me.
