And here's a version using 150 particles.

Render time for all 100 frames: 9 hours.

Enjoy!

9 hours??? Gosh, you have *way* more patients then me ;-)



The only thing I would possibly change is to have the trails fade as they
get older... Oh, and higher resolution ;-) - but that's gonna _eat_ your CPU
time and our bandwidth :-(

Just out of interest, does this thing use radiosity or normal point lights?

Andrew.

That looks great. Would look especially cool with solid objects too.

All the best,

Andy Cocker

I second that opinion.  Very impressive work.

Cheers!

Nope, not really, I was sleeping...



Thank you!

I had that in mind, but this effect was just quickly hacked, not
something that'll stay this way. A first attempt, so to speak.
Higher resolution wouldn't have that much impact, I'd say, the
scene isn't that difficult, its the parsing that's very complicated.

These are fading point lights. Radiosity requires way too high settings
with way too much time to be accurate enough for an animation
like this (I've tried with other, similiar things before).
