ALPHA LENSFLARE

A little tutorial for make a alpha lensflare:

a) Select a flat color material;
b) Go to into a blank layer with black background;
c) select a sphere;

STEPS:
1) Make an ellipse like step.1;
2) Snapshot the object and rotate it to 90 degree and snapshot again;
3) make another little ellipse and snapshot it to 45 degree from the step 3;
4) rotate it to 90 degree and snapshot it;
5) make a circle like step 5;

Finally make alpha with MRGBZGrabber tool and clear the layer.
After have baked the layer u can make lensflare with flat color material and light white.
