Hi ya'll....i need help here. I want to simulate a spark from a lighter before the flame is ignited. But my problem is I cannot find the suitable particle to simulate the spark from the flint. Can anybody help me on this?

Yes.
You can use a superspay with "tetra" particle type. Then you go in "rotation and collision/spin axis control" and you choose "direction of travel/mblur" and you add some stretch with the spinner.

You then right click on your particle system to acces the properties panel and in "motion blur" you choose "enable" and "object".

You should put a material with self illumination and a glow in post.

You should get a great starting from that.
