Hmm. I had worked out a system with discs where I was actually under the
impression that I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference myself,
apart from the shadows and the places where the particles are intersecting
with objects. But everyone have very quickly spotted the shortcomings of the
system... I wonder if I had used a non-moving camera if it would have been
as easy to tell?

Apard from the shadows, I'd like to know how to make the fire and smoke look
better if anyone have any hints. As i said, I've worked on it for a long
time and am kind of unable to see if it looks wrong, and why.

A printed version of your particle system??? I have no idea what you're
talking about... :)

Good luck with both!

Well, I have reasons not to work on a media version right now. Basically, it
will delay the release of my system. I just wanted to have *some* kind of
explosion included in the first version of the package. :)
