Trapcode TAO with specific light
Hey lovely people,
I hope to solve a problem with the help of this amazing forum, that has been giving me answers to so many questions in the past. Only this time, I wasn’t able to find a solution…
>> Is there a way to have several layers with the TAO effect applied in one comp and define one specific light layer for each one of them?
or in other words
>> How can I provide a TAO layer to follow/use all lights (that are named “TAO…”)
I have tried to precomp each TAO layer and it’s designated light, but since their path intercept in 3d space it’s not a solution.
I’m curious to see if anybody discovered a workaround for this.
Thx a lot 🙂 flo

I don’t have Tao myself, but I do have Particular. With that plug-in, you can specify the name of the light the effect will follow, by default its Emitter, but you can change this in the effect controls. Is there a similar option with Tao?

Hey Graham,
thanks so much for trying to help me out.
I double checked again, but sadly in TAO I could not find such a choice. The (every) TAO effect just uses every light that has “TAO” at the beginning of it’s name.
I also haven’t found another workaround yet.
thx again and all the best,
flo
