A few more words
to tell you where we’re heading.
The adventure we embarked on with Flared since 2019 has been intense and rewarding. We’ve had very productive moments, and some more challenging ones. In just 4 years, we’ve released dozens of free updates—sometimes fixes, other times the implementation of new, very complex features. Flared has grown over time and has become big, perhaps too big, to the point of needing a significant overhaul.
Many of the techniques we used were based on experiments and decisions made as early as 2018. It’s been 6 years, which in the world of software, is an era. This is why we realized a year ago that Flared needed to be rebuilt from the ground up, using new technologies, new functions, and projecting the addon into the future. And now we’re here, putting the final touches after nearly a year of work. We’re confident we have something important in our hands and can’t wait to get your feedback. Like all journeys, this will undoubtedly require adjustments, improvements, and the addition of new features. We are ready, and we hope we’ve done a good job.
Starting October 1st, we’ve decided to launch a month-long campaign to give everyone a simplified way to get closer to Flared2. Flared ST will be removed from the store, although it will remain available for those who want to keep using it. The same will happen with Flared XT starting November 7th, so that only Flared2 will be available for purchase on the store.
Flared ST and XT will not be abandoned. They will continue to receive compatibility updates as long as their framework allows.
Flared2 will become our flagship addon, and we are committed to doing our best in the years to come. We’re confident in many of its strengths, including the ability to create your own templates, export and import them from the community, allowing you to expand your library virtually without limits. Creating new templates on our end is now much simpler compared to previous versions of Flared. So, when we build new templates, we’ll share them for free with the community. We still need to decide where to host this repository. Stay tuned!
So don’t miss the chance to upgrade to Flared2!

Flared XT (extended)
Lens Flares Generator. The full power of the real-time generator directly in the viewport
Flared XT is 15% off starting from October 1st. Buy now and you’ll get a free pre-order for Flared2, which will be released on November 7th (barring any unforeseen delays) and will replace Flared XT.
Glared (new!)
Light leaks FX Generator. Directly in the viewport thanks to the realtime compositor
Flared XT is an add-on for Blender that generates lens flares. It is based on 3D elements and procedural textures, so it’s resolution independent. It is completely real-time: you can see the flares in the viewport and you don’t need to use the compositor. Flared is not screen space based, so it works also when the light sources are out of the screen space. You can create as much flares as you want, there’s no limit (it depends only on your hardware). Lens flares work both with Eevee and Cycles.
Glared is a new add-on designed to work in the viewport, thanks to the integrated realtime compositor in Blender 3.5 and later versions. Unlike Flared, Glared is not able to generate lens flares, but it can produce interesting light effects based on the scene you are working on. It allows you to generate Glows, Ghosts, Streaks, Vignette FX, Sharpen FX, Chromatic Aberration FX in real-time. Glared can work both on its own and integrated with Flared (in this way it allows you to achieve stunning results).

GLARED IN DEEP
– Glared is a useful add-on for generating the light effects present in many film shots (such as Glow, Ghosts, and Streaks) using the scene you are working on as a starting point.
– It can be used in real-time on the 3D scene or on photos or videos.
– There is a Threshold value that determines which values to use to activate Glared’s filters.
– In addition, Glared creates Chromatic Aberration, Vignette, and Sharpening effects.
– All of Glared’s parameters can be animated using Keyframes.
– Glared is based on a Nodegroup that is added to the compositor. If a nodal system is already present, Glared can be automatically inserted at the end of it or replace the pre-existing nodal system. The choice is made by the user.
– Glared is a stand-alone add-on and can also work without its older brother, Flared (which is used to create Lens Flares).
– Glared and Flared can integrate, if you own both, within the Flared’s graphic interface for greater ease of use.
– Glared is young and is making its first appearance. Therefore, there may be anomalous behaviors or situations that need to be refined at the programming level. For this reason, we ask you to interact with us and give us your feedback or ask for help when you are having difficulty. We will try to solve any problem in order to make the add-on better and better.
– With the experience gained in three years with Flared, we have understood how useful an efficient customer service is and how useful your experience is to increase the functionality of an add-on. We hope to repeat the experience already made with Flared and build another powerful and easy-to-use add-on that meets your positive opinion.

RATINGS
(from blendermarket.com)
★★★★ Good job !
★★★★★ Easy to use and nice result. Great.
★★★★★ Works great. If you are using it in cycles be sure to watch the authors tutorial on how to do that.
It’s not intuitive, but one you see how to do it, it is very easy. Great addon!
★★★★★ Oh wow. This is really nice, and will keep me from having to go into my other video editor, I’m really trying to do everything in Blender, and this is super simple to set up, there is a lot of variety, you can use multiple flares, so you can get a lot of interaction of your light sources, I even appreciate the focal length control isn’t called something else :) I’m very impressed.
★★★★★ The last flare addons you’ll ever use! It’s the best one out there, with great, and fast, customer support!
★★★★★ Love it! much quicker and fun than using a glare node or post processing in after effects!
★★★★★ Though I am just starting to work with the Flared add-on, I am impressed so far. It is a great time-saver, and, as others have indicated, it is fun. An easy recommendation to make.

WHO
We are two friends. We met years ago, both working with Blender on their own projects. At the beginning of 2019, we had the intuition that with Eevee it was possible to finally realize high-level effects, in real-time, without the compositor.
So we started working at FLARED, day and night. We put all our technical and creative skills into it. We hope you enjoy the add-on and give us the opportunity to continue working on it. There are many ideas for improving it.
