3rd Scene

SOO

i'm working on the 3rd scene which is a bunch of particle effects hitting the soldier guy.

and thats good it all works, the glow effect apears on the particles and dissapears when the particles dissapear.

however =w= the glow on the Magic Circles and anyobjects that "do" have glow on them will have the glow effect from frame 0-400 ><><

so then i tried to fix it using video post and only stretching the time line of the glow effect for when i want it to appear, er.. hard to explain - but it would basically be

Camera1.......... ___..........................
Effect1 ............___...........................
camera1.................. ____................
Effect2..................... ____..............

or something like that.. it works, but the problem is i have allot of objects in the scene tied to 1 effect, so even i seperate them like above the objects with the glow and on 0% opacity will still appear int he scene when i'm trying to only have the glow on a diffrent object in the scene with the same Object ID.

Though i saw two tutorials on how to make a neon light flicker O.< Switching on and off glow, so i'm going to try that - but it requires use of the Curve Editor and i havent touched it all year.
Tried it a little last night, dint really work - gona continue working with it X-X Gaah
