I want to do a little animation with flowing particles but I don't know how
I can make them to interact with moving objects. I thought that I could do a
trace from the point where they would be to the point where they are. But
before trying this I would like to know how you let your particles interact
with moving objects.

Wow, are you too developing a particle system? Seems to be quite a trend! ;)

I suggest you read the thread in povray.binaries.animations called
"Collision /w moving object" from December 2 2001 posted by me.

Not really. I just saw all those particle animations and this made me want
to play a bit with such things.

Does your system also work with non moving particles?

If you have little experience with particle systems I wouldn't recommend
collision detection with moving objects as the first thing to implement...

I don't understand. The whole point of particle systems is to make the
particles move dependent on certain criteria as far as I have understood. My
system does however have support for creating images and not just
animations, but the particles still "move" in the virtual space of the
simulation calculations before the result is presented in the image.

It's the second thing ;) I already have collision detection with non moving
objects.
So what would you recommend doing next?
