I mean... how many times in RL have you actually seen a lens flare? Stare at the sun and you'll go blind..not se a nice multilayered ring formation... :)

Hehe, that's what i'm thinking when i see lens flares in games (mostly). However they appear in cameras and demos are usually emulating the view from a 'camera' not from a 'human eye'. However some FPS games also uses them mistakenly.

oh puhleezze ...

I see envmapped spikeyballs everywhere ;)
oh and BTW: you'd have to be a roll of film to see a lens flare ... check your optics 101
actually i see them often. In the office i work at, they have this special glass in the windows to prevent the sun getting too much (the office is basically a glasscube with no walls). Well it works, and on top of that we get too see both lensflares and rainbows in the glass. Quite nice actually :)

Well with lensflares i guess in real life it all depends on how many mushrooms you've eaten.......Oh look there goes another one ;)

Yes, hallucinogenic compounds enable lens-flares in real life. Perhaps all game characters eat tons of mushrooms? Would certainly explain the strange story in many games, but how come the main character never wears tie-dye???

Hmmm, very strange. I don't recall ever seing a lens flare in a mario game, and mario lives in the mushroom kingdom itself.

ICO on the ps2 is all flared out, beautiful game with beautiful fx
Yes ico is a real classic game. But it has realistic lens flares and glows, not stupid red + green rings :) It's a general lack of drugs (or at least something more mellow)

That's also why the character has a stick instead of a gun that would be too heavy to carry in real life. Take all the acid away from the characters in unreal tornament, and you'll just have some people wandering around in a field, muttering to themselves, and waving their shoes at each other.

what kind of logic is that? Remove the wheels from your car and all you ahve is an expensive 4 pers. sofa. :p

i guess you have never been in a car in sunny weather if you never seen lensflares..

read: i see them daily in sunny weather.

psonice : Well, they had to be smoking something when they made ICO, because, other than the stick and the "restrained" flareage, I need more than beer to see those smoke-spiders and dripping "void" =P

Lensflares are cool but i don't get how the hell are there still people who think that the photoshop 35mm preset lesnflare is at all usable or that it should be imitated... I also don't understand why it's still included in photoshop;-)

Nostalgia?

It's still there cause the first photoshop tutorial, 'Make yourself look cool', involves taking a photo of yourself wearing sunglasses, and adding a lensflare to the sunglasses. You should read the manual uncle-x ;)
