Hi all. I have a scene with a visible "moon" (Sun Light) in it. I have added lens flare to the light. The lens flare shows up in the main camera preview window, but not in the actual render or the OGL preview.
Any suggestions as to why it isn't rendering? I'm using the default "final" render settings.
Thanks.

usually lens flares will only NOT show up if something is blocking hem, (obviously)
What you have is odd indeed. Maybe that ship is in the way slightly.

not.

I have tried to recreate your problem and can't, maybe take the tick out of fade behind objects.

I'm absolutely baffled. I've tried ticking and un-ticking all the objects, to no avail. I'm going to try removing the spaceship and see if that fixes it. I just created a new file from scratch and had no problem rendering lens flare. Bizarre...

I would save the file with lens flare off. Then close Vue and let your RAM settle down before opening Vue again. Takes about 5-8 seconds on my computer. Then open the file again and let the preview start to do its render. Then turn on lens flare and wait for the preview to start rendering before doing anything else.
Vue has a nack of letting us still click on parts of the GUI that shouldn't be active when sub menus and dialog boxes are active in the program. Throws everything off and causes memory leaks.

If Shawn's suggestion doesnt fix this ::
I would first --> disable ALL the Fade options for the lens flares in your scene (hoping it pops back to active).
Then, If that does re-activate your lens flare visibility - then unhide everything in your scene -- layers , objects and whathaveyou -- and try re-enabling your lens flare HIDE options w/evrything active in scene and make sure you're okay as you tick them on, one by one.

Maybe try merging the scene into a new one, where the flare works? Don't know, sounds strange...
