(Dynamic/Adaptive) Gaussian Flare

Hey.
The Gaussian_Anam_Flare Feature from MER or Framework is a really nice effect. But it always has the same color and so it doesn't look good sometimes.
I think it would be great if the flares would use the color from the light source.

I modified a screenshot in Photoshop to show how it may look like:

With Effect:


Would you make me happy and implement this feature into MER or Framework? Please?

I think that this could be worked on As far as I can see from Marty's video showcasing the new star flare shader, the flares actually have the same color as the light source does.



In the end, its up to Marty if he will implement this shader into next framework/master effect.

That would decrease performance and complicate code if bloom and anamorphic lensflare are used together. They use the same blurring algorithm and while I store bloom in RGB component of the bloom texture, I calculate the anamflare in the alpha channel.

I have to bump this thread cause I think that's the biggest boner killer to have Lens effects not use Bloom texture color. I would really love to see this changed, even if that means decreased performance. Maybe you could make a separate, unofficial version for us? I tried to edit the shader myself and while I managed to change the way that lens flares work, I still cannot find a way to mix it with bloom color. Simply replacing the Samples doesn't work and I'm not really good at shader programming.

use bloom alpha to mask bloom rgb to apply color, may mix different color in larger scale but look nice as starbursts.

pseudo code
flare.rgb = bloom.a * intensity * bloom.rgb

Would you be up to fix that on Framework Bloom shader?
