    Hi

    I was wondering if someone could explain to me how I can attach lights/nulls to the points/corners of what my animated cloner object has produced. I cant seem to select the points I want to and only can select the points of the original object before I used the cloner. Thanks

    Is this clear enough?

    Christian 🙂

    – put your Platonic cloner in a Connect object
    – put a Light/Null in a cloner set it to Object drag the Connect object into the Object tab/Object slot

    Hi

    thanks!!!!! seriously. thank you.

    Sorry but now when I try and export the lights to after effects cc all that appears is the camera and a missing png?

    Never encountered this problem before. Any advice?

    Do I need to add a external compositing tag to somewhere in particular. Really confused about this.

    Cheers

    Ok. So I solved it by deleting HDRi RIG and added multi pass all lights. I also added a external composting tag to the cloner with the light.

    Now the question is which one of these amends really solved the problem haha.

    Cheers man
