Sun Flares is a procedural, 100% GPU-based post-processing material that renders realistic lens flares on the camera. It features adjustable sun disk size and intensity, corona rays with configurable number, length, spread, and angle, light diffraction with animation, ghosts with customizable size, intensity, and offset, and four different ghost shapes: circular, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon. The material includes a halo with chromatic aberration. It offers fast setup and is easy to customize. The package includes 4 master post-processing materials with +30 configurable parameters, 8 preconfigured flare materials for instant use, and a basic demo scene with a sample Sun Flare effect applied to the Sun. Technical details include 100% GPU-based rendering in a single pass, depth-based automatic effect occlusion, volume-based post-processing material design, and no reliance on C++ scripting or blueprints.
