I remember reading a discussion on the "lens flare effect" that was so common in 3D games from several years ago. All these 3D games trying to improve the realism, but here's the funniest thing: the "lens flare effect" is a TOTAL LIE! It's BOGUS! No human eye on earth produces the "lens flare effect"!! Only cameras and such produce this effect, IRL...
Isn't it strange how an in-game effect that never really existed with the human eye became one of the most commonplace 3D lighting effects in practically every game after Quake 3?
