Hi there,
Firstly lets have a look at wether you have a phone shader on the object. A phong shader will blend the join between two polygons as long as they are below a specific angle.
In this case select your bulb from the object window. and see if there are two little orange spheres to the right of it. if you can see this there is a phong shader attached and we will look at other options.
OK so we have a phong shader but its not enough, we need to try something more dramatic. from the top toolbar you can see a green cube suspended in a wireframe cube, left click and hold on this icon, then select hypernurbs from the menu. Hypernurbs are good for making organic and smooth objects. Now we have a hypernurbs in our object veiwer, select your bulb and drag in onto the hypernurbs icon. This will place the bulb within the Hypernurbs. You should now see that the bulb is made from more lines, its subdivisions have increased!!. if you adjust the settings you can see that you can adjust the ammount of polygons the bulb is made from, and thus the smoothness.
apologies for the long answer. pm me if you need any further help.
Good luck!!

Gimble lock sounds exactly like what it is, and your idea sounds like it may work, but u say put in a null? is this a null object? and how do I create one?
thanks for your help

Im not sure about vegas, but After Effects doesnt seem to ever recognise my alpha channels from C4D. Unless i use .RLA format, which i take it Vegas wont handle. I have resorted to importing both the beauty pass and alpha as separate layers and making the alpha into a luma key matte. Again I dont know is this is possible in Vegas. but its certainly worth a try.

yeah its smooth as it can be, u should try it out. make a targetcan, set the position values of cam and target to 0, then set the y value of the cam to lik 5000, add some animation and youll see what i mean.
Ihave overcome the poblem not by using a noraml cam but its not ideal!
