I'm back for weekend, so I'd thought I'd comment on
the animation as well...

I do agree with others, the motion of the lamp looks very good and
smooth. I also agree that discs and media don't look as nice as
glows do (though I personally never used glows, just saw them
in example-pics of MegaPOV and your animations).

How did you actually calculate the positions for the
particles? Did you use trace on the object (which I
suppose is how you did it)?

My system is very much capable of doing just such
an animation, because it doesn't seem like your
particles are bouncing off the walls or the lamp again...

I have used some spare hours these week during
my seminar to read through my printed version of my
particle-system, and I've found some stuff that will
be changed, some that will be added, and some that
will be removed, but I expect my system to be out
earlier than yours. Maybe you'd have a look at it then?
