Hey everyone, I've finally gotten back to making new tutorials for imbueFX. This new one is 30 minute breakdown on making a simple anamorphic prime lens flare in UDK. And it's free! Check it out and please provide your feedback. http://imbuefx.com/products/introduction-to-lens-flares-in-udk/ Thanks everyone!
