Flying Lights
I was wondering if their an easier way of creating “flying lights”… small bright dots that make streaks (if you still don’t know, see the Ipod nano how-to, that’s sort of the same thing, but with constant streaks). I’ve tried particle illusion, but the rendering seems all to slow to make continuous streaks and to make them fly in a correct 3d space…. whey I try to make them spin, turn, etc on screen, they never seem to go in the right direction. Doing 1 is hard enough, doing more than 1 at a time is way to time consuming and often fruitless.
Please help!

Not sure if I made myself clear, but that was the how-to I was refering too. I was looking for some tips/advice on how to do it more effecticly with better control of the lights in 3d space. Particular is hard to control to keep a steady/solid streak going as well. Sorta like WSVN’s light style.

Basically you create a null or other 3D object and parent your particle position to it.
Maltaannon’s tutorial on growing vines in AE uses such a technique to keyframe the movement of a light to control the position of particles in Particular. You might want to check that out…

Man, that news station is trying WAY too hard to be hip.
