Video Tutorial: https://youtu.be/zfOxu-40duQ

Step 1) You will find several flare material examples or the master Post Processing Material called SunFlares within the Kronnect/SunFlares/Resources/PostProcessingMaterial.

Step 2) Create an instanced copy of this material so you can configure multiple variants without modifying the default values.

Step 3) Assign the copied material to the Post Processing Materials list of your Post Process Volume.

Done!
