Lights , Lens, no action- lens is nonfunctional
Hello,
I know I am asking more than i can answer here.
C4d R10- I have a Large modeled scene. it has many operations going on. many models and animations etc.bit off more than I can chew I think.
anyhow problem is:
I have and am trying to use lights with lens effects-glow. Okay, they work fine in a new file,another file, but in this one they will not.
I have created,merged and imported a lensed light and soon as it is in scene, created, added- it disappears or is just a puff ball- no lens at all.whether artifact-sun-purple any lens it is not working in this scene.either nothing or a white puff it seems.
I have other lights in the scene that are no problem with out the lens.Does anyone have a clue as to what may shut down or render this to be non functional?
thoughts?

In the render settings there is an option to enable Lens effects.
This gets turned on when you set it up but if you copy and paste it sometimes needs to be manually enabled. This happens with most post effects.Also if it is inside a transparent object the post effect will not show.

yes the lens effect is enabled.
I am still unsure what it is.
Restart-same, no lensI have 15 saves ,discovered it works in first 1st and 2nd save file. but not the 3rd and after- but this was all modeling stages.
Not an answer but could be a clue?
The only difference between saves 2 and 3 that are different is an added Environment with sky.

well cant edit previous, but this is odd.
I created an emitter-added light geometry to it, added lens to light in emitter and saved as object in outside file- merged into scene and
lens works but still not any other lights outside of emitter in the scene.weird? maybe I can work around this using the emitter.

I cant edit it again, but it is now working and I have no clue as to why.
All I changed was I had 1 emitter with a light in scene. took out that light, switched it with light from test emit with light and all is working. Lights outside came on with lenses lol??
now outside lights with a lens are working.How the other lights were affected by a light in an emitter I do not know. glitch?
