i am trying to render the lens flares in a choreography, yet no matter what direction i render it, it wont appear... the fade behind objects is off, fade with distance is off, and fade when aiming away is off.

does anyone have an idea of what may be the problem and how to fix it?

I'm not on my AM computer, so I can't verify, but I've had the same problem before. It's usually something as mundane as not having the light turned on or similar. Why don't you turn off every other light and see if you even get any light at all. If you do, then start checking all other attributes. Is it a klieg, bulb, sun?

Have you tried it without any models in the chor, just the ground plane and the bulb light? Try increasing the flares intensity.

 

nope, still a no go

I'm sorry... I just checked...'Volumetric' is not what you want.

 

HERE is what I just did REAL quick to make a bulb's lens flare work:

 

-Open A:M.

-Make a new chor.

-Right clik...new light.

-Now, go UP in the PWS to the new light under the 'objects' heading and turn on Lens Flare (under 'options').

-Try a test render(shift-Q) in the chor...you 'should' see a lens flare from the bulb.

Strange. What version/platform?

 

it is version 14.0.... Windows XP

 

Very strange. Just tested it with A:M v15 and everything worked fine.

Do you render with the blue or the green renderingbutton? Is it the same in rendering-to-file?

What are your renderingsettings?

Check your frames. Maybe you are rendering a frame before you turned lens flare on. Make sure you are rendering from frame 1 to frame 1 - hopefully frame 1 is the frame that has lens flare turned on.
