Rendering Ghost objects?

[brooney]

I am creating an ammo chain that it twisting and turning all over the place and I need to show the ammo being pulled from one location into the gun.  The best solution that I have found for nice control is attaching one round to a motion path, animating the bend/twist on the motion path, and using the ghost selected tool.  The problem is that I cannot render the ghosted objects.  Is there any way to turn a ghosted object into a renderable object?

Well not those no but you can do the same thing, because in reality its just a different name for a special use.

There does exist a node that does the same thing that the ghost option, namely the animated snapshot node. Since this node actually creates real geometry you should use it instead. What you do is just animate the end and start frame of the snapshot node and it does the same thing.
