    In Standard RP I used Lens Flares in combination with a Lens Flare Layer on the Camera for cheap flare effects.
    Since flare layers are not suported anymore in URP, I simply placed a sphere in the sky as a sun with an HDR emission Material in combination with the bloom post processing effect. I'm happy with the result but the problem now is that I can't use Fog from the Lighting settings anymore, because the fog will dampen the sun's emission.

    1. Is there a way to exclude certain objects from global Fog?
    2. What are your solutions for nice looking sun / light flare effects in URP?

    flares were a nice cheap trick to add a sun
