Hi
I am experimenting with lensflare and it is just a bit too in your face. I've read the other posts on redesigning the lensflare jpg, but I kind of like the current one, it is just too strong.
The XML documentation for lensflare lists
lensflare.alpha Number 1.0
Which sounds like a great way to make it more subtle.
But inserted into my code

It shows the following error
ERROR: unknown attribute/path - lensflare[lf0].alpha
Does the alpha value work? Or have I done it wrong?
Thank you.
Mike

Hi,

I'm confused then because if you click 'show/hide advanced settings' it shows the following including alpha:

<lensflare> show / hide advanced settings
Defines a lensflare (sun).

<lensflare name="..."

atv="0.0"
size="0.8"
blind="0.6"
blindcurve="4.0"
/>
full variable name (read only) type default value
lensflare.count int 0
The count / number of all lensflare elements.
full variable name (read only) type default value
lensflare.visible Boolean true

0.0=no blinding, 1.0=full blinding (=white screen)
attribute name full variable name type default value
blindcurve lensflare[name].blindcurve Number 4.0
The blinding curve (1.0 - 10.0) - it controls the increase of the strongness of the blinding when getting near the center position of the flare.

Do the advanced settings not work for everything, because they def work for some other tags?
Thanks
Mike

i forgot to check the advanced settings. it does appear that alpha should work. it must be a bug. download and older version of krpano and see if it works with that version.

Hi
Thanks, I will try that and report the bug if there.
Kind regards
Mike

Just a quick update. I've decided not to use the lensflare in the current pano I am working on so didn't test an older version of krpano. I'm not totally sure I like the overall effect. It's great in video, but it seems a bit artificial on still (even pano) images. It is probably great in the right application. It also seemed to slow the pano down.
