Hi guys,

I have a USD asset (a ship) being read in directly via a sublayer node.
I am using an instancer node to attach this to a point that I'm bringing in from SOPS.
I'd like to attach a few lights to the boat and have them travel along witht the ship as an instance.
I can't instance lights can I? WHat would be the best way to do this?
Thanks

At present the only way to do this with lights is via referencing (which the instancer can do) or duplication. While perhaps a bit inelegant, you can still use the PointInstancer for the ship and wrangle the lights in parallel. I'm attaching a proof-of-concept of that.
