Hey guys, Ive been looking around for a tutorial on Sunglare effects… To see what I mean go [here](http://www.xeofreestyle.com/2000/) and youll will see what I mean. One thing is theres a little blue star thing when the pieces of a ball are put together (in the link provided), how do I make that? And the other little sunglare rings like you would see in OpenGL run Games when you look at the sun. If you can help me out on this, or link me to some websites where I can find tutorials on just how to do this, my email is **[cs\_oblique@hotmail.com](mailto:cs_oblique@hotmail.com)**. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks! ---

yeah…u wan’t a glint…and its a pretty easy effect to achieve. You mask over an area, then you do a motion tween uderneath that mask with a gradient that goes from invisible to white solid to invisible agian…i’ll attach something u can check out…i think its from someone i helped out…hrmmm ---
