Pixie effect
goto pain effect window and get the desired paint i selected
glows-->pixie
basically we are going to create a brush effect then instance it
to a omni emitter attached to a curve flow animation
thats the idea that.....i have abt it...
after selecting the brush draw it at the origin of the grid(its a long story why to place it on the origin) render ur scene if it gives u desired effects else draw another stroke as desire or maybe with a different brush so create an omni emitter and create a curve using a CV tools fpr the path then select the stroke and then the emitter goto
Amimation -- > Animate --> attach to path --> _|attach
lower the rate and increase its speed
keyframe the rate of the emitter if u need a different effect
select the paint effect stroke and the emitter goto ---> Dynamics and instance it,,,,,,
Render it and see the result .....
enjoy instancing !

Another tip along those lines, would be to paint like 10 or so ""pixie-dust" images at around 128x128 in size, then use them as instanced sprites from an omni emitter with a little bit of glow (possibly even with a noise expression on the glow intensity) and attach that to your path or object
For a "pixie-rain-dust" style effect, you could do the above, only combine the idea with our SM rain tutorial.
Great tips all!

I think he was joking, as I've never seen it.HOWEVER, it might be a new PFX brush that I havn't seen yet, so don't take my word for it
