How to create custom Lens Flare Layers

After applying a Lens Flare template from the Content Manager or creating a Lens Flare effect from the Create menu, you can add more layers to the lens flare effect as needed.

1. Make sure to have a Lens Flare effect in the scene.
   
2. Select the Lens Flare gizmo. Go to the Modify panel > Material tab > Layer List section.
   
3. Add one more layer by clicking the Add button.
   
   Alternatively, you can click the Duplicate button, which can duplicate the currently selected layer to generate a new layer with same settings.
   
   In this case, we'll be adding a new layer.
4. A new layer will be added into the list with empty texture channel and default settings.
   
5. Double-click on the name to rename the layer.
   
6. Choose the type for the layer (in this case, Decoration).
   
7. Load an image into the texture channel.
   
   You can see a custom lens flare layer appearing on the viewport.
   
8. Adjust the settings in the General sub-section.
   
   You can create various Lens Flare effects with these steps at will.
   
9. Optionally adjust the settings in the Trigger Zone sub-section to define the color and brightness shifting behavior when the light source animates. Please refer to the How to use Trigger Zone section for more information.
