Workaround for lights and symmetry
Hey guys,
I have this butterfly model with lights on the tips of its wings. The butterfly will be animated and need to move about the scene. I need a light on each wing, so I want to create the effect of the symmetry object. Symmetry doesn’t work with lights so I was looking for a work around. perhaps with Xpresso.

Yeah, you could duplicate the lights/geometry and use Xpresso to drive the rotation of the other wing.
