I'm updating a tutorial for v.6 and need to use a lensflare, but I don't know where it is now. Can someone help please.

The lensflare shader worked only with the old mantra3 and not with the newer mantra that uses VEX shaders. Since the old renderer is now removed from Houdini, there is no lensflare shader available any more.

Please see:

for an example of a lens flare shader.

lensflare… is… evil.

Thanks Jeff,
That certainly makes sense, but what a shame. I liked the lensflare, used it for all sorts of effects, virtually never for what it was actually for.

Then maybe one should add this to his ToDo list. Hmmmmm. :cry:
