Ultraflares is arguably the most powerful and sophisticated lens flare solution for Adobe Photoshop and compatible hosts. Backed by over a year and a half of research and development, Ultraflares boasts some of the most advanced and realistic lens flare features available today. Ultraflares comes packed with hundreds of presets including over 65 natural flares, over 60 stylized flares, over 35 glints and over 40 light leaks.
Ultraflares presets are modeled after real-world lens flares.
This is a thumbnail gallery of the included natural flares that ship with Ultraflares. Natural Flares have been modeled after real-world lens flares and are categorized by camera brand, lens and f-stop.
Ultraflares offers unlimited power and flexibility through the assembly of lens flare objects in a hierarchical stack to produce any number of flare variations, with any amount of complexity. The artist can choose from a range of 13 realistically-modeled flare objects such as iris, multi-iris, spot glow, halo, ring, caustic, shimmer, lens orbs, spikeball, hoop, sparkle, streak and glow. Each object has been carefully developed to match real camera optics thereby producing photorealistic results. Every object features its own massive set of specific variables allowing the artist to tweak just about any feature and produce just about any result.
Ultraflares ships with an easy-to-use, intuitive GUI boasting production-proven features. The stack can be easily navigated and any particular object can be renamed, deleted, duplicated, soloed, moved up, moved down, moved to the top or moved to the bottom easily and effortlessly with the click of a button. A powerful, built-in file browser provides super-fast, immediate flare load / preview. This efficiency results in increased productivity and faster lens flare development.
Ultraflares provides a set of highly specialized transformation tools that allow for inherently complex lens flare object movement. Each object can be free to move in all axes, horizontal only, vertical only, none (for light leaks), or custom (which controls the range of horizontal and vertical movement inherent to anamorphic flare behavior). A secondary distance controller provides additional positioning tweaks for horizontally-locked, vertically-locked objects or unmovable objects resulting in extremely natural flare movement.
Ultraflares is capable of generating virtually any type of flare or light effect.
Ultraflares features chromatic aberration, an optical effect that is caused by a lens’s inability to focus all three wavelengths together on the same focal plane. This results in red, green and blue color fringing. Chromatic aberration can be applied globally to the entire flare, thereby simulating real-world camera lenses.
Ultraflares provides a powerful and versatile built-in object called lens orbs for dynamically generating complex lens textures! Lens orbs mimics real-world lens dirt that accumulates on the front and rear element of the camera. Lens Orbs are illuminated by objects in the stack so moving the flare around will result in correctly revealed lens dirt yielding stunningly realistic results. Because lens orbs are modeled after the multi-iris object, you can tweak just about any settings such as coloring them chromatic, setting polygonal iris blades, introducing optical vignetting for unique cat’s eye iris, and much, much more.
Ultraflares brings the power of lens textures to the artist’s fingertips. Select any lens texture and watch as Ultraflares realistically illuminates the texture according to its lens flare color, location and structure. Choose Ultraflares’ own highly configurable procedural lens orbs object or use custom textures of any kind. Embedded custom textures in compatible file formats such as PSD allow Ultraflares to easily toggle between multiple textures.
Ultraflares pulls lens textures from the image channels which means once you can store lens textures in any file format supporting multiple image channels such as PSD. This allows your to store as many as you want in one file and easily access them using Ultraflares from within a convenient drop-down menu.
Ultraflares is much more than a lens flare plugin; it’s a full feature light studio. Not only does it allow the artist to produce sophisticated lens flares, but also the ability to generate a wide variety of complex camera lens effects, all modeled after real-world light phenomena.
Ultraflares has an unlimited number of applications including the generation of volumetric lights, glows, light glints, star filters, sun glows, star bursts, film burns & aberrations, light leaks, highlight accents, photo filters, bokehs, lens textures, and much, much more. It is an indispensable tool for 3D artists looking to push their 3D renders to the next level.
Add ultra-realistic light leaks to your images.
Light leaks are indispensable for adding creative personality to photography or reducing that computer generated look in 3D renders. But why spend hundreds on prefabricated light leaks that can’t be modified when you can create your own? Creating light leaks in Ultraflares is incredibly easy and its included library of 40 light leaks provides numerous options to start from. Best of all, lens flares, anamorphics, glints and light leaks in Ultraflares are all resolution independent and aspect conforming so the same light leak that works on a 1K composite will also work on a 4K composite.
Ultraflares is the definitive solution for any hobbyist or professional digital artist, designer or photographer demanding cutting-edge, high-quality lens flares and light effects. Download the demo today.
Ultraflares is 100% multi-threaded capable of using an unlimited number of cores for ultimate speed.
Ultraflares supports both 8 bits / channel and 16 bits / channel color modes for professional workflows.
