BabylonJS - Lens Flares

Syntax

Following is the syntax to create lens flare −

var lensFlareSystem = new BABYLON.LensFlareSystem("lensFlareSystem", light0, scene);

Parameters

Consider the following parameters to create lens flare −

Name − Name given to the lensflaresystem.
Light − This can be light source or camera.
Scene − Scene to which the lens flare will be added.

To add flares to the scene, execute the following command −

var flare1 = new BABYLON.LensFlare(0.5, 0.15, new BABYLON.Color3(1, 1, 1), "images/sun1.png", lensFlareSystem);

Size − Floating value between 0 and 1.
Position − The source (the emitter) of the lens flares (it can be a camera, a light or a mesh).
Lensflaresystem − Object created using lensflaresystem class.
