This one using textured discs?

Or these using MegaPov glows?

I really miss the ability to use glows. Media just don't produce nearly as
nice effects. :(
The thing about glows is that even small glows affect the image a little bit
in a very large radius (infinite radius actually), and that way multiple
small glows become a bigger glow. Doing that with media would be extremely
slow, so instead I just use small media glows that don't interact very well
and don't have the same glowing look. Glows wouldn't have worked well here,
though, as they become invisible on backgrounds that are not dark.

I'll see how this animation looks with textured discs - maybe better than
how it currently looks.
