Glow Lens Effect 227
Occlus ion—
Determines how much the Lens
Effects Scene O cclusion parameters will affect the
particular effect. The va lue entered determines
what percentage of occlusion set in the Lens Effects
Globals panel will be applied.
Sq ueeze—Determines whether the effect will
be squeezed. When activated the effect will b e
squeezed according to Lens Effects Globals under
the Parameters p anel in the Squeeze spinner.
UseSourceColor—Mixes the source color of the
lightorobjectyouareapplyingtheeffecttoand
the color or mapping set in the Radial Color or
Circular Color parameters. A value of 0 uses only
the values set in the Radial Color and Circular
Color parameters while a value of 100 uses only the
light or objects source color. Any value between 0
and 100 will render a mix between the source color
and the effect’s color parameters.
Radial Color group
The Radia l Color settings affect the inner and
outer colors of the effect. You can set the color
swatches to set the inner and outer colors of the
Lens Effect. You can also use bitmaps such as
Gradient or Cellular to determine the radial color.
Fa lloff Cur ve—Displays the Radial Falloff dialog
(page 3–257) in which you can set weights for the
colors used in Radial Color. By manipulating the
Falloff Curve you can make the effect use more of
one color or map than the other. You can also use
a map to determine the falloff when a light is used
as a L ens Effects source.
Circular Color group
Circular Color determines the color of the effect
byusingfourdifferentcolorswatchesthatare

(page 3–254) in which you can set weights for the
colors used in Circular Color. By manipulating the
Falloff Curve you can make the effect use more of

map to determine the fal loff when a li ght is used
as a Lens Effects source.
Radial Size group
Determines the radial size around the particular
Lens Effect. Clicking the Size Curve button
displays the Radial Size dialog (page 3–259).
Using the Radial Size dialog you can create points

to determine where the effect should be placed
around the light or object. You can also use a map
