If you have a 3D camera track, add a Light or Axis node at the physical coordinates of the light source in your 3D scene. In the Optical Flares properties, set the source type to "3D" and pick your Nuke camera and light/axis node. The flare will now dynamically shift, stretch, and fade based on realistic camera physics. 2. Building and Customizing the Flare Aesthetic
