particleShape node worldCentroid problem
"You will want the point light to move around with the flame, so connect the WorldCentroid attribute of the particleShape node to the Translate vector of the Point light."
I tried doing this in the Connection Editor, but when I load the particleShape node it does not list "worldCentroid". I then looked this up in the Help and it says: "The worldCentroid attribute consists of worldCentroidX, worldCentroidY, and worldCentroidZ You can use compound attributes with MEL commands such as setAttr."
I tried creating an expression like:
pointLight.translateX = particleShape.worldCentroidX;
but this gives an error.
would love to get some help on this!
Also, to make the pointlight flicker, what is the best method:
1. expression for the light's intensity; or
2. mapping an image sequence to the light color; or...?
