Detailed Render of the Earth from Space - Blender 2.5 - page 235

Now it's ime to work on the "A1A" row of nodes. Let's take a look at the corresponding
screenshot:
17. For this row, we need to add two RGB Curves nodes ( Add → Color → RGB
Curves ) and a Glare node ( Add → Filter → Glare ). Let's edit the curve for the "C"
channel of each RGB Curves node as shown in the previous screenshot and set the
parameters of the Glare node as follows:
Glare Type: Streaks
Quality: High
Iteraions: 5
Color Modulaion: 0.5
Mix: 0.0
Threshold: 0.0
Streaks: 5
Angle Offset: 1.0
Fade: 0.985
18. The connecions are as follows: Connect the image output of the "A1" row to the
image input of the first RGB Curves node, then connect the image output of the
first RGB Curves into the image input of the Glare node. Finally, connect the image
output of the Glare node into the image input of the second RGB Curves node of
this row. This way we get the "A1A" row complete.
