Greetings,

Some notes on lens flare:

LensFlar.itx was renamed as Twinkle.itx in V3.0 to avoid confusion with the 
global fx, LensFlar.ifx.

The LensFlare FX doesn't get blocked by objects between lights and the camera -
not a bug - just the way it was written.  There is a Don't Flare button (or
something like that) in the light's attributes that can bu used to shut off
the flaring behind objects.

The size of the flare around the light itself is controlled by one of the
axes of the light source - I don't remember off hand which one, but it's in
the documentation on disk one.

There will most likely be a (maybe even more than one) new flare FX that 
does get blocked - just didn't have time to write it before 3.0.
