One of the features Leo found particularly helpful was the "Dynamic Triggering." He wanted the flare to react to the movement of a passing spacecraft. By linking the flare's position to the spacecraft's transform data, he created a natural, interactive effect. The flare would subtly shift and change intensity as the ship moved, adding a layer of realism that would have been incredibly difficult to achieve manually.

When a light source is incredibly bright, it blows out the camera sensor. Use a Merge node set to Plus or Screen to composite your flare, and slightly raise the black levels of the underlying footage using a Grade node driven by the flare's position. Nuke 14 represents a significant shift for The
