I take it that this is using semitransparency then? Your animations haven't
shown it against a background so I kept thinking of it as pigments going
from white (or gray) to black. Oh wait, that origin dot would be obscured by
darker parts if that were true.

It's a fascinating thing to see rendered from POV, even if not made from
within it entirely. People are going to want to see this interact with
objects, I know I sure do, like Tim was saying. Maybe could be used for
aerodynamics simulations, etc.!
