paint fx light linking

[azshall]

i read in the help that you cant link lights to the paintfx

you read correctly, it aint happenin unless you can convert the pfx to polys, of which you cannot in maya 4.5.

is there a way around this?

render the paint fx with said lights that make it look good .. and comp it together in the end.

im trying to make wings with feathers is there a better way then pfx? i was going to do the whole wing in pfx but now im thinking im going to do the bulk in planes with transparency and pfx for touch ups since i need to move the camera around the character.

any ideas on a better way?
