* Optical Flares for Nuke can automatically register the 3D position of Lights and obscuration in your scene.
* Add Optical Flares to you shot containing a 3D Scene and at least 1 light.
* Set the Source Type to "3D"
* Connect the light and camera to a Scene node and connect this to the input labeled as 'scene' from Optical Flares.
* Axis nodes work as lights as well
* You can connect the camera to the optional side arrow or to the scene node. Both will work.
* Adjust settings inside the 3D Tab for Optical Flares to select Light influence properties.
* You can also use the side arrow for connecting a camera
* Optical Flares directly expects one 'Scene Node' as flattened input.
