Hello. Does anyone know how to parent a lens flare effect from a light?

That way when my cam moves the lens flare follows. Any ideas how to do this please post, thanks a lot!

Sorry, I thought you had 3ds Max. This info isnt for Maya. I dont know how to delete my post.

I messed with it a little bit when I was setting up a planet scene. You have to go up to rendering, then effects, then set a lens effect to lens flare. From there, you can pick the light that you want to parent it to. That should be a good start. Make sure “active” is checked right beside the effect listed in the list box.
