I've got a concert scene that I'm animating and I have a sphere that I want to have animated like people waving their phones to the music. I've keyframed the sphere to animate in a simple arc, but that animation is not displaying within the forest object. Is there a trick I need to do to get this object to display correctly? Does forest not read keyframes? I've also tried animating the sphere with a noise controller and that did not also appear in the forest object.
I've attached a simple test scene for anyone to play with.
A bonus question, if I wanted to do the same concept but in a basketball scene and use these spheres as camera flashes randomly popping off. What would be the best way to do that, maybe with an animated self-illumination map or object visibility keys?
