Emitters and lights are the friendly

[Ziah]

i tried creating an object then using fx linker ..but if i do it that way i don't get the desired trail of light that im looking to be left by the objects themselves
:hmm:

maybe you could try using luxigons? not sure how it would work though..

create a poly.. add luxigons to it.. send it to layout..clone it in layout using fxlinker.. and then convert luxigons to lights..??

might not work, since i dont know if the convert luxigon plug in layout can be used on multiple objects.

but you could give it a shot..

yes you can link a light with fxlinker, the same way you would link an object.
pfx and lens flares! wooha! ;) thank god you couldnt really do it in the 90s, otherwise the lens flare craze would of been even worse!

You can, but you'll find the fx-linker for lights under the motion options modifiers for the light. Run the linker and it'll attach itself to a single perticle. Then just clone the light as many times as you wish and each new light will be attached to a single particle.
