  Lens Flare Problem (Message 1 to 2 of 2)

Yesterday I posted a message saying that moray crashed when rendering
lens flares, well after lots of testing, I have not been able to
recreate this problem so forget I said that. However while testing I
found another problem. If you try to copy and past a lens flare it will
crash moray. And the attached mdl Alter.mdl still crashes Pov. Oh and
one more thing whenever I try to view any finished rendering with a lens
flare in it I see a large black stop where the lens flare should be, I'm
guessing this is because I'm using the trial version, but I'm not
positive.

To Lutz: Thanks for keeping moray up to date, its a great program!!!!

The lens flare should work fine even in the shareware version... do you
change the ambient_light in the global_settings for your scene?

Actually, your problem is probably a max_trace_level problem.  Make sure
it is set high enough (10 should be more than adequate).  I forget where
to set it in Moray, though...
