Yes, but I cannot say for certain in which version.

Is the Maxwell type lens effect an actual render effect though? Since you apply it to the .mxi file afterwards I assumed it could, in theory, be done in any post program. Is there an advantage to having that directly in Vray?

It is a post-effect indeed. Doing it in Maxwel/V-Ray/3ds Max simply saves you time from going to another application.

Foundry’s Tinder wich is available both for nuke and AE and alike has T_Starburst wich does something similar to glare :

Tinder 2 has Chromatic for imperfect lens sim :

Other things to use include LensBlurs or glints (dunno how these would be called in the various apps if available at all)
