Hey Rich,

I continued playing with optical flares and hell, I have nearly the exact look.

I just clicked 3D lights and manually placed them where the E3D lights are located.   Need to tweak some sizing and brightness but that's about it.

Guess I should have continued that when I first began.

Thanks Rich,

Interesting observation on the lights.  Cool.  Appreciate it.

Yes, real lights in the studio but they can’t have flared as they wanted when shot. It’s always a dead give away when they go off screen at full strength rather than quickly dying down at screen edge. And they’re all perfectly identical to each other.

TBH, I haven’t used Optical Flares in 3d space but I know you can link them to AE’s 3d lights.

By the way,  found this.   Very short but I think I see just one spot where it looks like there is a pole with a light or something.

I wouldn’t mind betting those flares are Video Copilot Optical Flares. They’re definitely not real.

Hello all,

I wonder if someone can help me. I've created this round stage in Element 3D that I have keyframe to rotate.  Point of view if from center looking out and I would like just 6 simple spotlights spaced evenly around the perimeter facing the center.  Currently, I just have the stock little lights that are in one of the Element packages, set to glow and they look fair but would I would like is something a bit more realistic where the glow has some streaks rather than just a glow.

For reference, this is exactly what I'm recreating from a Maroon 5 video.  Note the spotlights.


So, they need to be 3D so I can place them around the object (stage).

Thanks ahead.

Eric
