Yes this reminded me of your work too Bill, didn't you enter it
into the IRTC?  I seem to remember it being a good image but 
totally off topic, maybe it was the Horror round last year?

?

Why would anyone build a heat sink around a star, for crying out loud?

    When you want the heat for something else, or when you don't want the
heat beyond the sink.

I think a large enough heat sink would cool down a star.
Of course, that would be a pretty big heat sink!

These are really great !

Thank you for sharing.


But how did you do the lights for the explosion ?

And did you use any media in there ?

    I did several lights of different color and different fade_power.

    Yes, a large, slight scattering if I remember correctly.

    Right. Space is the ultimate heat sink. My proposed construct was
intended to save the heat from going too far.

I guess that's a pretty big heat sink then...

: My proposed construct was
: intended to save the heat from going too far.

I only meant that in addition to the previously mentioned
reasons for placing a heat sink near a star.

Have a great day!
