Lens shader not working when render to File/Mplay Nov. 24, 2025, 6:37 a.m.
I assume you've read the karma lens docs? https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/solaris/support/karma_lens_shader.html [www.sidefx.com]
There are some sample files that make use of custom lens shaders, they might shed some light on how to get it to render to disk.
I feel like it was working when I was playing around with a custom lens shader in h20.5
edit: Here is the one that I built, also using vop nodes https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/94084/?page=1#post-424757 [www.sidefx.com]

Bake Geometry Textures bug? Nov. 5, 2025, 6:33 a.m.
Are you running 21.0.513+?
This was added in 513:

Might fix this
I also think @tamte is correct that you should be able to fix this by modifying the parameter
