I am having a tough time trying to create lens flare for my lights in Maya.Whenever I render with Mental ray,the lens flare doesn't show but shows in Maya software renderer.Also I tried using shadow Glow on my bulb polygonal mesh to get it to glow so I can use lens flare,but Maya crashes.

Is there a way to create scatter lights in Maya?The bulbs run down a tunnel and I am animating a camera following a character as he runs through the tunnel.Using After effects is gonna be time consuming to put lights for every camera shot with lights for each bulb.

Or maybe use Unreal engine?It has lens flare,scatter rays and its all real time,not to mention how quickly render time would be?
