3D Lens Flares from Nuke Lights

Optical Flares for Nuke can automatically register the 3D position of Lights and obscuration in your scene.
Add Optical Flares to you shot containing a 3D Scene and at least 1 light.
Set the Source Type to "3D"
Connect the light and camera to a Scene node and connect this to the input labeled as 'scene' from Optical Flares.
Axis nodes work as lights as well
You can connect the camera to the optional side arrow or to the scene node. Both will work.
Adjust settings inside the 3D Tab for Optical Flares to select Light influence properties.
You can also use the side arrow for connecting a camera
Optical Flares directly expects one 'Scene Node' as flattened input.
