Realism

Rendering photorealistic lens flares requires in-depth knowledge of the physics of how light travels through lenses.

This section is dedicated to explaining the physics of lens flares and how they are modeled in Flares Science. Starting with general concepts that apply to all our technologies, we will then go into more specific details of how each technology works.

As Flares Science is based on the bachelor's thesis of Lukas Sabatschus, there is a lot more detail available on most topics discussed here in it. It is available for free at https://luksab.de/projects/thesis/.
