and 100 is fuzzy).

of the average ray), and the fuzziness of the rays (0 is crisp and 100 is fuzzy).
If you want the flare to contain rings, select Rings and specify the distance of the path between the halos center
point (center handle) and the center point of the furthest ring (end handle), the number of rings, the largest ring
(as a percentage of the average ring), and the direction or angle of the rings.
