BTW: No offense intended to anywork in particular, but I have determined that I hate lensflares. Actually I have found that its not the lensflare I hate, its just anyeffect thats made with a resource. Ever look at your local tv commercials? I swear they are all using the photoshop lensflare. Did you notice that 90% of low budget 3d work is just composed of regular poser people? I cant wait till the graphics industry grows up a bit more. This will largly suck for me b/c I stink, but it will greatly improve results. Its sort of like wipes and DVE's in video...in the 70's you had crazy wipes, in the 80's some bastard created paint boxes, and in the 90's people went crazy with 3d dve's...thankfully a cleaner look is becoming popular for 2000+.....now that they have all the toys, people are seeing that simple cuts and dissolves are the best. Thats how I think it will be with 3d soon....I think they will gravitate from the weird wild shots where the effects are the scene and they will move more towards compistions where the compisition is the shot, not the shiny lens flare and lighting effects :) rant mode off...must go to bed so I can go put photoshop lensflares into crappy commercials tomorrow :) (hey smaller towns are about 10 years behind the times in video...I figure in 2010 I will be allowed to use cuts and dissovels again :)
