There are 17 lights in there, and 5 of them rely on lens flare tweaking. Of these the one I see as problematic in Carrara is the effects I gave to the water in the cauldron. The spells in the witch's hand I can do with light spheres, and the dragon's breath might actually work better in Carrara for the same reason than it did in Vue.

The sun and the bulb are both lens flare effects. The bulb of course could be a light sphere, but imagine if this scene were viewed through a window. The solar lens flare gains an issue from both angle and from how it works its way through the cage of the gazebo.

I don't care -HOW- I get the results, just that I can still get them... :)

I'm also having an issue with recreating stars (or anything like them - little shapes in the background sky). I've got a seperate thread for that at eovia3d - and presently I'm wondering if a shader on an infinite plane could do it... You can see stars in the non-nude image in these above images.

Perhaps these can be done, and I'm just not seeing the methodology yet.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
