Glitter brush

[meetdilip]

Hi, is there any brush we can use to get a " shine " effect like this ?

Notes:

• The Brush editor does not support it, but you can use a text editor edit the VBR and set an aspect ratio >20. Interesting effects.
  
• If you want to be accurate, these sparkles are caused by the diaphragm in the camera (you don't see them in the physical world, only on photos). A diaphragm with an even number of blades produces as many spikes, those with an odd number twice as many so given that diaphragms have between 5 to 11 blades, you can have 6, 8, 10, 14, 18 or 22 spikes.

You might found this video useful to make your own brush




Or maybe you are searching for a tuto to quickly read and make your own (the video above is way too long for what it is).

Or may be just some brushes to download?  (usually I don't like to download brushes when I can make them)

Thanks. I will take some time and try. It looks do- able.

As before deviantart is a good source, although you might have to do a bit of conversion.

From a collection there, 8 Gimp brushes in the flare style.

Still in Gimp is the old gradient flare plugin Filters -> Light&Shadow -> Gradient Flare use the classic version in the selector tab and play with the sliders.

Did anyone try this ? It is .abr and when I use it, it gives dark shine instead of white. It would be nice to know whether a fix is available. Thanks.

The brush we make has no blur in the middle
