O.o does this work for actually showing the particle when you're actually editing your poster/videos in SFM?

You have problems which need a professional's help, simple as that. I were smart long before I found out I'm a brony and nothing changed when I did find out, and there are so many good bronies, so you're absolutely wrong.

I'm having some problems. I'm trying to past some small particles onto the mlp bit, but it won't go. Is it because it's too small?

Thanks. It's real hard to find tutorials like this since most people expect you know how to do it or you stick to the basics.

Please help, it doesn't work! The particles don't cover the whole body!

Spawn a prop. Bottle of some kind works best. Move that bottle onto the horn, making sure the horn is inside of the bottle. Apply magic particle to bottle. Lock bottle's bone to head bone of pony model. Untick render for the bottle *little eye thing*. Boom, magic particle that moves with the horn of your model.
Currently, no other way to apply magic to the horn besides this method.

I noticed that some bottles don't work as well. That or some particles aren't as good for locking.

How might I lock the bottle to the horn of the pony?

You forgot to go up one time on the tree, look at the image that comes after the one that tells you to select "show in element viewer, model". You will notice a small white arrow that points at a button that will take you one level up on the model tree, so you can access the correct area.

Horns don't have bones, so all you can really do is spawn a particle system and move it over the horn, then lock that particle to the head bone.. That's how most animators do it.

If I remember correctly, Argo uses a wooden log as the source and locks it on the horn before making the log invisible. Is that one way of doing it?

Sadly this does seem to work with the mlp magic particle. but, as said, not all will work. Thanks for this though.

As it says in the image. Some particles work better than others, even some dont work at all. Though some particles are games based so check to see if the particle rules are turned on. Right click viewport, draw game entities and make sure particles is checked. If even that doesnt work then chances are its just a buggy particle, sfm is acting up or in rare cases, a buggy model.
