      Hey guys,

      I am trying a fireflies effect but somehow i cant get the glow to get shining off.

      this is how it looks but as you see its just a collored ball. anyone know what i am doing wrong ?

      is there also a tutorial that shows how to create sort of lightpath behind them (that off course fades away )

        hello guys, 

        i got further and got a pretty nice effect but its still not doing what i want. 

        first of all, this is how it looks now :

        as you can see , the lights are there but even if i put emmision to 5000 or 10000 its not reflecting the light onto the flower plant. 

        yes i do get a bigger radius of light that shows off but i would like that i also reflect the light of the emmision to the surroundings. 

        the idea is for my final render that i keep the world light pretty low but most lightning comes from the fireflies.

        i really hope anyone can help me out.

          Hi Yuki,

          you are using Eevee, I guess. Not my specialty, but what you could do is put a Point Light at each firefly’s position, (I’d parent the light to the fly…) to illuminate the environment and use the Emission Shader on the fireflies to provide the glow:

              @spikeyxxx one quick question . when i have it parented and i want to duplicate it will only make a duplicate of the sphere ?
              can i copy both at the same time ?

                If you have both selected, it will duplicate both with the parenting:
