hey chris, how's it going?  question:  what kinds of parameters does
this glow thing have?  could one make them look really really small? 
like sparks?  how fast do they render?  can the centers be less white
(more saturated)?  what about making the light a visible point with a
color but no glow halo?  if they could look like sparks, and if it is
fast enough, it might be cool to set magnitude high, fade distance to
zero, and fade factor really high (so a few hundred of these don't wash
out the scene) and add these to one of the great explosion experiments
that have been done in the past.  maybe use the particle emitter patch
to emitt these new 'light particles'.  put the emitter in the center of
the explosion, make it go boom, and watch sparks fly, and die out at
approximately the same distance.  what do you think?  watch the death
star explosion for what i'm thinking of.  not a whole lot of smoke or
flame, just a little, but with a lot of sparks.
