Default Using Point Lights

I am using multiple, point lights like 30. Ref image below. Is it possible to snimate all these lights by having then rotate as they move upward. And if so do I have to anumate them one at a time, of can I assign null objects and animate all at once.



Not sure. Please help

1. Yes you can have them rotate as they move upward.

2. You can have them assigned to a null object and all move up at once, although then they'd all move up at the same speed. Either way would work., but it depends on what you want the end result ot look like.

thank you. I actuall, while I was waiting on a response experimented, and I have them rotating randomly at different speeds, but I am animating them independently..



Ou know what the neat part is. The surface is affected by the movement of the lights. WOW.. What a discovery..
