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?

shyte....ahd to check if you are right and for a second I really saw a lense flare effect in the rising sun,,,now I can't see a thing except the image of the sun flashing in front of my eyes...I rather prefer the simulated effect in a game

If one can not notice that effect in RL, it is most probably because of polution , but I can assure you, right now that the sun rises over Munich, mother nature shows it like no artist could ever imagine it
And as an Allophyl hunter....
3rd person view and auto aim, may not be cool but as long as it makes no difference if I shoot them in the head or belly it also makes no difference if I use auto aim or not.
