Coloured trail to follow objects?

[Slash5]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if any of you could tell me if there's an easy-ish way of getting a coloured trail to follow some floating objects in my animation. Basically, I've got objects to float around and then float out of shot. I was hoping to somehow get a faint coloured trail to follow each of them and then fade away.

Is this easy or hard?

Is it some kind of particle thing or is there a plugin out there that could do it for me?

Thanks for any help.

Chris

Make your object an emiiter or parent an emitter to it.
Use HV sprites with a gradient in the color channel set to particle age to control the color of the trail over time.
