This might be better suited for moray.win :)

Still, try this.

Create a normal point light, and position it where you want the lens flare
to be.  If you don't want this light to actually give off "real" light, then
set its colour to black.  Now, create a lens flare object by simply pressing
the [create-->plugin objects-->]LensFlare  button.  Now, press the little
button next to the Camera option at the bottom of the modify windows.
You'll probably only have one camera listed in the selection box that pops
up - so select it and press OK.  Now, click the little button next to the
Lightsource option.  Select the name of the point light you just created.
There you go :)  Your lens flare will appear where your point light is.

The rest (such as changing flare type etc.) should be fairly obvious.


Hope that helps,


Matt
