Lensynth

cosmosmythos in Animation


  • 16-bit (half-float) flare output
  • Pixel Detection mode (experimental) — let the addon detect sources from rendered frames (not live-preview compatible). Now supports both Scene Lights and Pixel Detection for flare sources
  • Separate focal length for flares — independent from your scene camera
  • Intuitive, predictable tinting — tint seed, hue spread, and hue shift controls
  • Pupil Jitter — breaks up grid symmetry for more realistic flares
  • Aperture feather — smooth aperture edges
  • Faster live preview — much more responsive at low spectral samples (1–3). Lag still expected as you increase samples
  • Lights with color temperature are now supported
  • Light exposure (EV boost) is now respected
  • Better Occlusion & FOV culling
  • Disabling the master "Lens Flare" toggle now automatically stops the live preview.
  • Added a dedicated OpenEXR codec selector

Flare Resolution Scale Render lens flares at a fraction of your final output resolution. Drop it to e.g 25% to iterate faster during lookdev, then bring it back to 100% for final.

GPU Memory Released After Every Render Previously GPU buffers allocated during flare rendering stayed until Blender was closed.

OpenImageIO EXR Output 32-bit float EXRs with ZIP compression and correct RGBA channels.

Coating Seed Changes now correctly trigger a preview re-render. Previously ignored by the preview's detection system.

  • AMD (HIP) and Apple Silicon (Metal) GPU support to the flare rendering engine.

  • Some performance gains

  • Physically-based AR coating - wavelength-dependent ghost colors


✅ Chromatic Aberration

✅ Physically-based ghost/flare rendering

  • NVIDIA CUDA GPU acceleration (Windows + Linux)
  • (CPU)
