redpill me on adding lens flares to your work. Do you do it manually or auto based on threshold? To me, doing it automatically looks like shit.

I don't add flares because I'm not a faggot.

I did in post for the past 21 years. More control over the final look. In 'ancient' times I used whatever built-in lens flares the 3D tools had. Around 2000 I started exporting additional reference passes for compositing tools to add flares - but that became obsolete as soon as tools like AE and Fusion handled 3D camera data. Now I just export a bunch of reference nulls to these tools and attach flares to it via the Optical Flares or Light Factory plug-ins.
