I think the quikly way is render in diferent passes and than pos-compositing in Photoshop, After FX, etc

Or try to find a mentalray node at www.mymentalray.com (http://www.mymentalray.com/) like Lenses nodes for instance.

Good luck

Thanks a lot...
That was useful....why cant Mental Ray(Maya) render lighting effects....Do we need any kinda plugin? or just just Mental ray doesn't support Lighting effects..

I'm not certain what "lighting effect" you're going for still.

Post light glow? Do you mean a halo of light around the light-emitter, or do you mean light bloom around the light?

Do you mean volumetric light, such as beams coming through fog?
