Oh yeah, it can also do this 😌

This feature is actually available now, just updated the files! 🥰

is it out ?

Filmic Plus is in early access right now, but this particular feature will be out in an update coming real soon! :)

Wowee

This would work with real footage?

Works best with HDR data, so media that has high exposure values - HDRI's work best in this case as they produce brighter than 1.0 values, which allows it to produce flares specifically in those areas. Video files would clip at a maximum of 1.0, which would make it hard for it to produce any meaningful flares, without using shaders to extract the highlights, and artificially boost their values in those areas. However, this is why the next thing I have planned, is "Filmic Plus for Davinci Resolve" 😉

wow

I drool might get this some day when i'm not broke. Great work! Love what you do for Blender.

Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words! 🥰

Oh man I need to get this. I picked up another lens flare thing off gumroad but they're not this nice!

Aww thank you! I hope to have this put and available soon for y'all! ☺️

Picked it up a couple of days ago 👍 not had a chance to try it all out yet but looking forward to the updates 👌👍

Thank you so much for the support! ☺️

Why does the ring twist into a figure 8 at the 10 second mark?

The settings are exaggerated, but it's the faux-caustics simulation. It's just meant to break up visual uniformity in the flares and try and simulate that sort of cardioid refractive shape you can see in some reflection-flares :)

The way the surface deforms and settles back is so satisfying to watch on loop. Noting it as inspiration for new AI nodes I'm testing.
